DETROIT — Gabe Kapler first met new Tigers president Scott Harris in the fall of 2019, when Kapler was interviewing for the Chicago Cubs' managerial opening.
Kapler was passed over for that job, but landed with the San Francisco Giants a month later — two days after Harris, too, joined the Giants as their new general manager.
Kapler's initial impression of Harris was positive, and the appreciation has only grown since.
