According to a report from Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press, the Detroit Tigers have hired Mark Connor as their new amateur scouting director. Following a trainwreck of a 2022 season, the Tigers hired Scott Harris as their new President of Baseball Operations and plenty of changes have already been made within the organization, including parting ways with David Chadd and hiring Rob Metzler as their vice president and assistant GM.
