[Tigers PR] The Detroit Tigers have named Rob Metzler Vice President/Assistant General Manager, joining the organization after 15 seasons with the Tampa Bay Rays.
we interviewed a few of guys from the rays when i was there. people leaving the rays usually leave for money reasons because much like on the field, the rays don't pay their analytics people either. Metzler probably got a really nice raise along with the promotion.
Im really digging the moves the Front Office is making. Especially crucial with a big off season coming. This team needs a big overall and likely needs to bring in a handful of FA
At this point there's no way Harris won't be assuming GM duties. If he's the President, and the Assistant GM is a Vice President, there's not room in between there for someone else.
Honestly, every 5 years the Tigers should do away with staff and hire more. Cause after 5 years if you don't have a plan that's working then your shit is cooked. These are new guys, therefore, i like
15 years ago was 2007, one year later the Rays won the pennant and turned the corner into one of the most consistently successful franchises to this day.
Itās good that the Tigers are clearing house with their organization and they appear to be replacing them with members from winning organizations. I just hope it doesnāt turn into the Matty Patty situation with the Lions where they got a coach from another winning organization thinking it would get them to the promise land. That would be extremely depressing

Not sure if this falls under the "never trade with the rays" rule of thumb

lmao lets hope not
squints with suspicion
Poaching top talent from successful teams, wonder why Al never once tried doing that
hires from within harder
I mean Al hired Ryan Garko who has a huge role in the organization from the Dodgers

Looks good to me.
Solid hire.
I'll take pretty much anyone from the Rays
hiring anyone from the Rays organization is a wise move imho.
I'm not being snarky, I genuinely don't know: have the Tigers ever had members of their staff poached, like even when we were good?

Ours usually suck
Dombrowski?

Oh my godā¦
God help me I'm actually hopeful for the future
So they name an assistant general manager but still not a general manager. Seems like theyād do it the other way around.
Itās just a title so we can hire him away in a somewhat lateral move in terms of responsibilities
