Bringing Dave Dombrowski to the Red Sox just two weeks after being released by the Detroit Tigers was met with nothing short of happy feelings in Boston. This was the guy who was able to do big things in Detroit, leading the team to four first-place finishes from 2011 through 2014.
2015 spelled a different fate as the team fell out of contention, forcing the Tigers to change things up by firing the GM in early August after the team was playing less than .500 baseball.
Boston spent no time in adding Dombrowski after Ben Cherrington resigned.
