Scott Harris addresses Tigers' struggles after disappointing 76-86 season
Summary

Detroit Tigers president of baseball operations Scott Harris took responsibility for the team's disappointing 76-86 record during a press conference on September 28. He emphasized that the team's struggles began with a disastrous month of May, where they went 6-22, leading to their last-place position in the American League. Despite indicators of strong performance in other months, including the fourth-best run differential in the league, Harris highlighted the lack of roster depth as a significant issue. Injuries to key players early in May severely affected the team's performance. Looking ahead, Harris mentioned the need for organizational improvement and the lessons learned from this season.
