The Tigers could potentially have a new general manager in place before the end of the season, MLB Networks Jon Morosi reports . It was almost exactly a year ago that Scott Harris was hired as the clubs new president of baseball operations, though the GM role (effectively Harris top lieutenant) has remained vacant, despite an ongoing search and the fact that Detroit has three a sistant GMs
Mitch Moreland Jersey in Sam Menzin, Rob Metzler, and Jay Sartori. It remains to be seen if the Tigers might promote from within or look to someone from outside the organization to act as Harris official second-in-command. There hasnt been much news on the GM search or Harris hiring preferences, as he said that the proce s had taken a back seat to more pre sing matters, such as preparation for the amateur draft and presumably the trade deadline in short order afterwards. It could also be that Harris has someone in particular in mind who is currently under contract with another organization, and had to wait until closer to the end of the 2023 season to engage in negotiations. Or, since Harris was viewing his first season with the Tigers as an evaluation proce s on and off the field, he might have a better sense of what he wants in a GM after a year of gauging the clubs pluses and minuses. More from around the baseball world After two seasons with the Giants , is eager for a third, telling that I really like it here. Its a great group of guys. I love the way they run the organization . Pedersons big 2022 campaign led the Giants to i sue him a qualifying offer after the season, and Pederson opted to take the one-year, $19.65MM rather than test the market in search of a longer or more lucrative deal. Pederson is again eligible for free agency this winter, and will face a more limited market since his 2023 numbers (.245/.355/.421 with 13 homers over 383 plate appearances) have been more good than great, and Pederson brings little batting value against left-handed pitching or defensive value as a corner outfielder. That said, Pederson also has some of the best hard-contact metrics of any hitter in the league, and since his .373 xwOBA outpaces his .340 wOBA by such a significant margin, there could be multiple teams interested in seeing if he can have better luck in 2024. San Francisco might be such a team, since the Giants love of platoons might be create a natural part-time for Pederson. Guardians starters and each started rehab a signments with Double-A Akron this week, with Biebers next outing tentatively slated for tomorrow and McKenzie on Tuesday, as Guards manager Terry Francona told reporters (including ). Both pitchers are on the 60-day injured list, as McKenzie has been out since June due to a right elbow sprain and Bieber since July because of right elbow inflammation. With only two weeks left in the regular season, the timing will be tight for either pitcher to make it back, and Clevelands dimming hopes at the AL Central title also make it po sible that the team could just shut down Bieber or McKenzie out of caution. However, the two right-handers are still aiming to return, since as McKenzie put it, returning after the long IL stint would allow him to go into the offseason with a calm mind . The Rockies seemingly nonstop flood of pitching injuries has continued today, with leaving todays start after three innings due to what the club later announced as a mild right oblique strain. This came after Colorado already placed right-hander on the 15-day IL prior to their doubleheader with the Giants, as Lambert is suffering from right biceps tendinitis. Lambert has a 5.36 ERA over 87 1/3 innings this year, after mi sing most of the previous three seasons due to injuries. Freeland has a 5.07 ERA and he leads the Rox with 155 2/3 innings pitched, though he also previously mi sed a bit of time on the IL with a minor shoulder i sue in July. It is safe to a sume that Lamberts 2023 campaign is over, and Freeland is also probably done for the year unle s his oblique strain ends up being very minor.
