The Detroit Tigers are bringing back Jay Sartori to a senior front-office role in baseball operations, according to sources. Sartori is returning to the organization as baseball operations vice president.
The Athletic reports that Sartori was originally hired by the Tigers in 2015 and later left to work for the ACC as vice president for sport technology and innovation. Yahoo Sports describes Sartori as the “original architect” of the Tigers’ data system, suggesting his earlier work continues to shape the team’s baseball operations approach. Both outlets frame the move as a return to the Tigers after time away in a related technology leadership capacity.
While the specifics of his day-to-day responsibilities beyond the vice president title are not detailed in the provided summaries, both accounts agree the hiring centers on operations leadership and ties to the Tigers’ existing baseball data infrastructure.
