Well, whatever David Dombrowski did to make Detroit Tigers owner Mike Ilitch hastily fire him as president and GM two weeks ago, as it turns out, he sure provided Dombrowski with a huge favor.
It took just days for Dombrowski to be heavily pursued by three teams, and Tuesday night, 14 days after being fired, the Boston Red Sox announced that Dombrowski will be formally introduced Wednesday as their new vice president of baseball operations.
Dombrowski actually was offered the job Sunday, but the announcement was delayed two days after clearance from the Commissioner’s office, since no other candidates, or minorities, were interviewed.
