Dave Dombrowski's Firing Shows Just How Quickly The Red Sox Fell Apart

There are three weeks still to go in September, but the Red Sox’ season is, for all intents and purposes, over—and so is Dave Dombrowski’s tenure at the top. Late Sunday night, following a loss to the Yankees, Boston is reportedly firing the man who oversaw last year's World Series championship team, marking an ignominious end to a reign that rapidly soured amid this season's disappointing results. With the Sox effectively eliminated from playoff contention, it was likely that some reckoning was coming, but it’s still a surprise to see one of the game’s most talented franchises part ways with its president so soon after it reached the top of the mountain.
