We polled the BYB staff to determine Dave Dombrowski's savviest move as Tigers GM.
Dave Dombrowski was hired as the Detroit Tigers president and CEO in 2002. Six games into the 2002 season, he fired then-general manager Randy Smith and inserted himself into that post. Dombrowski is now in his 14th season in that role with the Tigers, and is the architect of one of the most successful eras in franchise history. The team has been to the playoffs four years in a row, an unprecedented feat in the club's 115 seasons of existence.
To get to this level, Dombrowski has had to make some savvy moves and acquisitions.
