BOSTON -- Though Dave Dombrowski has been the president of baseball operations with the Red Sox for almost a year, Monday marked the first time he was in the same ballpark as the Tigers since his 14-year association with that club ended Aug. 5, 2015.

"It's unusual. It's different," said Dombrowski. "It's one of those situations where I wasn't sure how I would feel about it. But I guess after all those years and friendships, there's a little bit of mixed emotions.
