USA Today’s Bob Nightengale reported owner John Middleton signed Dombrowski to a four-year, $20 million to leave a comfortable situation in Nashville, where he had been working to bring a Major League Baseball team to Tennessee if and when the league expands again, and lead the Phils back to the postseason.
