Dombrowski FIRED By The BoSox

[WillPower]

We Tiger fans couldn't help but snicker at this morning's news. Dapper Dave did what we all said he'd do in Boston.....loot the farm system, put the parent club far over the salary cap, and hope to hell they won a world series. They did. Dave is a winner but at what price? He left Montreal and Miami looted and broke. He left Detroit...fired by telephone...when Mike Ilitich discovered he was angling for a deal in Boston,...which he got. And now the BoSox have seen enough. In his defense, he knows minor league talent but can't seem to draft well. Few of his traded farm kids have gone on to become stars elsewhere. I bet he was in a bad mood when the owner called last night, and said something he shouldn't have said. Like the old saying goes...better a season too soon than a season too late. Dave will land on his feet....he interviews very well. He's under contract for next year so he'll probably ride out the 2020 season and be back in the saddle somewhere the year after.

Won a World Series last year

29 other teams didn’t

It seem ownership was not happy with the fact the team did poorly this year and is over the luxury tax which will cost them dearly...

I am thinking Theo is going to request to go back to the BoSoxs to rescue the team...

Dave will get another team and rebuild them into playoff contenders... Mariners would be a good one...

He's not coming back to Detroit...Avila, (Dombo's assistant GM) just got a contract extension on his way to losing 115? games but drafting pretty well, which Dave never did. I remember the middle of the night that Dave had to go downtown to bail Cabrera out of jail for beating his wife. He's also got agent Scott Boras' number so Boras would go around him and deal directly with Mike Ilitch (RIP). Chris Ilitch can't stand Boras and that's one of the reasons why Castellanos is gone to the Cubbies...he got sick of being ignored by his agent, a friend of Avila's, and hired Boras. Now Nick is hitting HRs in Wrigley that were long outs in Comerica, a park he called a "joke" which further infuriated the suits in the Tigers front office. DD's firing in Boston is mysterious....somebody should explain what happened because if they don't, Dave won't either.....he never talks out of school and I mean never.

There are plenty of teams out there that want to win

I’m sure Dombrowski will find employment
