The Tigers' Trade: A Necessary Evil? Scott Harris, president of baseball operations for the Detroit Tigers, has defended his team's recent decision to trade away star pitcher Tarik Skubal.
While some fans may view this move as a betrayal by the Tigers, who had high expectations for the season, Harris maintains that it was a necessary step.
The Tigers' approach to the season was built around winning the AL Central, but an early rash of injuries decimated their roster, leading to a dismal 6 22 month in May.
