Red Sox GM candidate Quinton McCracken

When new Red Sox President of Baseball Operations Dave Dombrowski arrived, the general manager at the time Ben Cherington decided not to stay with an obvious reduced role. When Dombrowski was introduced at his first press conference, with Cherington gone, a major topic of discussion was the new GM-to-be. Dombrowski put the brakes on speculation about that position by saying he was in no rush to fill the position as he got acclimated to his new surroundings. Now, five weeks later, according to multiple reports, the first interview for the GM position is going to Astros Director of Player Development Quinton McCracken.
