Just one day after promoting Mike Hazen to Red Sox VP and GM, a move that showed he still valued some of what was already in place on Yawkey Way, Dave Dombrowski announced the hiring of Frank Wren as senior vice president of baseball operations on Friday. Wren, who served as the Braves GM from 2008-2014, will report directly to Dombrowski.
Wren’s name was originally brought up by multiple media members to possibly take over as general manager when Dombrowski was first brought on earlier this season due to their history working together in the Expos and Marlins organization.
