Red Sox fire Dombrowski

[soccer10k]

I get that they've had a disappointing season but they just had maybe the best season in the history of the franchise and won a title last year. Just seems like a huge overreaction.

That seems really strange with 3 weeks left in the season when he can’t really make any major moves to help/hurt the team anyways. Gotta be more to the story here

Not strange at all. It signals to potential GMs that the Sox are hiring, and lets them get things started well before the off season.

 

Could we see Jed Hoyer heading to Boston?

No idea. I’m sure they’ll look at the Gms from Minnesota, maybe Arizona or Houston....people with somewhat recent success.

[SouthSideRyan]

If they wanted to go back to that era, I'd think it'd be Josh Byrnes.

Sounds good to me if we get compensation.

Somebody loan Theo a gorilla suit.

So Jed can wear it or Theo? I’m open to either.

I'm still not convinced Jed actually does anything or has anything to do with anything, so Theo.

[bcl412]

Any chance Theo comes home though?

Agreed. It would make more sense coming from an organization, like, say, the Cubs.

Fired because they didn't think he'd be the best guy to get them under the luxury tax.

[extremely rob manfred voice] it is the pace of play that is turning fans off the sport, not owners who are perfectly content to lose rather than pay players fair market value
