Cherington Steps Down as Red Sox GM, Dombrowski Hired as Pres
Wednesday, August 19, 2015
Dave Dombrowski
Dave Dombrowski was let go by the Detroit Tigers two weeks ago after a 13 year run as the teams general manager. Dombrowski was let go shortly after trading Tigers sitting at 56-61 and having traded ace David Price. Al Avila was hired as his replacement.
Dombrowski worked for Red Sox owner John Henry when Henry was the owner of the Florida Marlins.
Ben Cherington
Ben Cherington took over for Theo Epstein starting in October of 2011 and helped the Red Sox win the World Series in 2013. However, the Sox went 71-91 in 2014 and this season sit at 52-66, in last place in the AL East.
The move will be effective immediately.
Shake up Continues
The hiring of Dave Dombrowski and the stepping down of Ben Cherington comes just a couple of weeks after Larry Lucchino announced that he was stepping down. Sam Kennedy will replace Larry Lucchino at the end of the season.
