Ok, you want to judge Dave Dombrowski’s integrity?
Here he is, knowing his departure in Detroit was imminent, but instead of going the safe route and keeping the Tigers intact for a possible wild-card berth, he convinced owner Mike Ilitch to surrender and sell their most prized possessions if they wanted to accelerate their revival.
Dombrowski, with his team still thick in the American League wild-card race, made the bold moves last week to trade ace David Price to Toronto, power-hitting outfielder Yoenis Cespedes to the New York Mets and closer Joakim Soria to the Pittsburgh Pirates.
