Dave Dombrowski

Dave Dombrowski is currently the president of baseball operations for the Philadelphia Phillies. He has a resume as one of the most successful executives of his generation. He previously had tremendous success after being named the president of baseball operations for the Boston Red Sox in 2015. During his tenure in Boston, the Red Sox won three straight American League East Division titles and the 2018 World Series. Dombrowski spent the previous 14 seasons with the Detroit Tigers. In that time, the Tigers went to the playoffs five times and won four straight American League Central Division championships. Detroit went to the World Series in 2006 and 2012. HIring manager Jim Leyland was arguably Dombrowski's biggest move with the Tigers. He had previously hired Leyland while he was the Florida Marlins general manager. Dombrowski was the first GM in the Marlins history. He was hired in 1991 and oversaw all moves for the expansion franchise. In 1997, the Marlins would win the World Series based largely on a free agent group signed by Dombrowski. Prior to arriving in Miami, he was the Montreal Expos general manager. When he was promoted from director of player development in 1988, he became the youngest GM in baseball. Dombrowski originally began his career with the Chicago White Sox in 1978.
