Detroit Tigers president of baseball operations Scott Harris has started the restructuring of his front office.
Amateur scouting director Scott Pleis was fired after 15 seasons with the organization, multiple sources with knowledge of the situation told the Free Press. An email was sent to members of the scouting department Friday morning. The Tigers fired former general manager Avila on Aug. 10, in his seventh season as general manager, and hired Harris to lead the baseball operations department Sept. 19. When contacted Saturday, Tigers leadership responded, but would not confirm or deny this report.
