KANSAS CITY -- New Tigers general manager Al Avila will be keeping nearly all of the assistants who worked under his predecessor, Dave Dombrowski. The team's second round of administrative moves, announced Tuesday, saw Avila change titles for some veteran advisors while promoting former Pirates general manager Dave Littlefield to vice president of player development.
Scott Reid, the longtime pro scouting head under Dombrowski, will stay on as a senior advisor to Avila. Dick Egan, a special assistant under Dombrowski, will stay on in the same role for Avila.
Also staying on are amateur scouting director Scott Pleis, Minor League operations director Dan Lunetta, international operations director Tom Moore, Latin American scouting director Miguel Garcia and player development director Dave Owen.
