When the Boston Red Sox signed Dave Dombrowski to be the President of Baseball Operations just two weeks after being released by the Detroit Tigers, they knew they were getting one of the better executives in the game.
Dombrowski was proven after winning the 1997 World Series with the then Florida Marlins. Mr. Dombrowski had also had a great run in Detroit from 2011 through 2014 in the playoffs with the Tigers. In 2012, the Tigers made it to the World Series before losing to the Giants and twice made it to the ALCS in 2011 and 2013.
