When he was suddenly let go as president and general manager of the Detroit Tigers earlier in August after 14 years of service, it was understood that Dave Dombrowski wouldn't be out of work for long. The location of his new job? We'll call it a bit of a stunner.
The Boston Red Sox announced Tuesday night that Dombrowski would take over as the franchise's president of baseball operations effective immediately. Ben Cherington, Boston's GM since October 2011, has stepped down but according to the Red Sox, will assist Dombrowski as he transitions into the role.
