Red Sox firing Dave Dombrowski signals team moving in new direction

Dave Dombrowski did his job. He did exactly what he was brought here to do, gutting the farm system and splurging on free agents in a series of win-now moves to put a contending team over the top. The result was three consecutive division titles, a franchise-record 108 win season and a World Series title for the Boston Red Sox.

The urgency to win came at a cost, one that ultimately cost Dombrowski his job.

A disappointing season that will almost certainly keep the Red Sox out of the playoffs for the first time since 2015 means changes are on the horizon.
