The Boston Red Sox needed a new leader. Dave Dombrowski needed a new job. Sometimes, these things work out.
At least the Red Sox, who are in the midst of a nightmare season, hope it'll work out.

[Red Sox chairman] Tom [Werner] and I have no doubts that Dave is the right person to strengthen our baseball operations group going forward.
