It was also under Harris' watch when San Francisco shocked the baseball world after snatching the National League West title from the Los Angeles Dodgers. This prevented the Dodgers' streak after LA won the division for eight straight seasons. Needless to say, Detroit Tigers fans were elated upon hearing the news.

Now he'll run the show in Detroit.The Tigers may be competent in the coming years twitter.com/JeffPassan/sta… Harris also worked as the league's coordinator for Major League Operations of the MLB before his job on the north side of Chicago. He also had other stints in the MLB with the Nationals' and Reds' front office.
Detroit Tigers forgettable season
Despite investing in the signing of Javier Baez and the debuts of top prospects Spencer Thorkelson and Riley Greene, the Detroit Tigers have been massively disappointing this year.
