Red Sox hire ex-Tigers GM

Not just me, as a team. “It was a very quick decision”. Boston is a baseball city like no other, and its history and traditions are unique in our game. “There was no sense in waiting”. He could have stayed. I told him that. He was surprised.

“As owners, we’re all responsible for the poor results we’ve had, and for results going forward”, Henry said. I understand it would be a transition with him. The Red Sox players now have a reason to play well for the rest of the season.

Jackie Bradley Jr. “wowed” Dombrowski on his first night at Fenway on Wednesday, and has really improved at the plate over the last couple weeks.

The person spoke to USA TODAY Sports on condition of anonymity due to the sensitive nature of the topic.

JBJ then stepped in and launched a three-run dinger that hit the light tower over the monster. They prefer to hold onto their prospects and build from within. “It’s a great opportunity”. “I always had the utmost respect for (Henry)”.

“People have tried to categorize him, like, ‘Is he a bull or is he a bear?'” Red Sox chairman Werner said yesterday after the press conference. He is one of the most highly regarded executives in all of baseball, and had options to go with other clubs. Penalties should come. And there’s no denying that the Tigers ought to have had one World Collection title to point out for Dombrowski’s Herculean efforts in rising a proud franchise from the ashes of ineptitude and indifference in his 14 years.

The Red Sox are now 53-66 and are in last place in the American League East. They are 13 and a half games behind the New York Yankees. He can make changes as he sees fit, whether that means shipping them out or finding them a new role on the team. He gave few specifics Wednesday, except to say, “I guess we need to find some better pitching”.

Cherington leaves the team as general manager after taking over the post left by Theo Epstein in October of 2011.

It has been a very tough season for the Boston Red Sox. The Tigers’ farm system was little help, thinned from all of Dombrowski’s trading.

“Ben Cherington is one of the finest individuals I have ever worked with, possessing a maturity and integrity second to none, ” Henry said.

As for Dave Dombrowski, who knows? Ben’s steady hand was at the tiller of that remarkable journey. We’ll continue to strengthen that.”There’s a lot more in common than perhaps has been suggested”, Werner added”. I’m hoping that the sudden jump in revenue will have Rogers thinking that putting more money into the team is a good thing. He was on board with the decision to bring former Los Angeles Angels general manager Jerry Dipoto into the organization to evaluate their process. In the last month, the BoSox admitted Red Sox president Larry Lucchino would be leaving at the end of the 2015 season and manager John Farrell had to leave after announcing he had lymphoma. He began chemotherapy earlier Tuesday. “You have the luxury of continuing to work young guys in all the time but still pursue veteran talent”, Dombrowski said. “We’ll sit down at the next homestand and visit, and get a chance to talk”.

Lovullo has said that he’s tried to keep Farrell aware of the goings-on at the ballpark as much as possible while he is away from the team, though he doesn’t want to overwhelm him while he focuses on his health.

For now, Dombrowski says he isn’t sure what position best suits Ramirez, only that the 31-year-old is capable of putting up bigger offensive numbers than he has this season.

Catcher Ryan Hanigan followed with a home run to left field to complete Boston’s second back-to-back set of round-trippers of the night.

If you don’t win, you’re out. He surrendered three a year ago on September 1 to the Tigers.

The starting rotation is only part of the Red Sox’ pitching problems.

Dombrowski said he is not arriving in order to “blow up” baseball operations.
