The Tigers operate as an incredibly tight-lipped organization. Outside of the Great Alex Bregman Debacle of 2025, fans usually don't have much of a clue into what the front office is thinking or doing, which is very much of Scott Harris' design.
Harris might go as far as to say that he will entertain conversations on any player, but beyond that point, everything is just hearsay. He would never operate like former Cardinals president of baseball operations John Mozeliak, for example, who was straightforward about St. Louis' intention to trade Nolan Arenado.
We'll probably never know what's going on behind closed doors, especially when it comes to the biggest issue currently at hand in Detroit: Tarik Skubal's arbitration status, which will surely go down as the Great Tarik Skubal Debacle of 2026.
