NEW YORK -- The Red Sox will reach out to speak with free agent baseball executive Dave Dombrowski in the near future, a major league source said today, but that does not necessarily mean that the club has its eye on hiring the former Tigers CEO, president and general manager.
The Red Sox are doing their due diligence on many fronts as they embark on the early stages of what could turn into a reshaping of their baseball operations department. Speaking with Dombrowski would be both a courtesy and a prudent step for the Red Sox to take, considering how well respected Dombrowski's talent evaluation and executive skills are.
