The reaction to Dave Dombrowski was swift. Those in favor of it lined up on one side and those not in favor were on the other side. It was difficult to find a middle ground that didn’t involve a “wait and see” approach thanks to the statements of no spending by the owner. What we’re going to do is look at the side of the coin that was against the move because of Dombrowski’s reputation as “organization ruiner”.
During his tenure in Detroit and Boston, Dombrowski earned a reputation of going for broke, the future of the roster be damned.
