Detroit Tigers: 4 positives that came from the 2022 season

Detroit Tigers hiring Scott Harris is a positive as the team shifts its direction.

Lastly, and perhaps the most recent positive from the 2022 season, was the change of direction that the Detroit Tigers have instilled. After finally moving on from Al Avila and firing him, the team found the new man with a plan.

For the Tigers, the results may not have been directly shown in the 2022 season, but the Tigers went on a bit of a run in the “Scott Harris era” of the 2022 season. Beyond that, the acts alone of bringing Harris in with the organization and beginning that process were rewarding enough.

The opening press conference with Chris Ilitch introducing Harris and allowing Harris to address the Detroit media for the first time told a lot to Tigers fans. There were a lot of things said that should lead the Tigers to be happy about the direction of this organization.

With a lot of changes coming to the Tigers organization this offseason, being able to look back on the day Avila was fired, and the day Harris was hired, it’s positive for this organization. Harris is able to start leaving his mark on the Tigers.

The future is the exciting part of this, and things could easily fall apart, but the honeymoon phase with Harris is not over yet. It still feels like the Tigers are vastly moving in the right direction.
