Dombrowski Released as Tigers GM

 

As of Tuesday, the Detorit Tigers have released GM Dave Dombrowski of his contract, leaving assistant GM Al Avila to take his place.

Dombrowski was able to accomplish a lot of things in Detorit over the years,  except winning a World Series. Can Avila lead his organization to victory? It will take a lot now that the team has traded multiple pieces around in return for prospects and pitching.

Despite all of these moves being made, the Tigers find themselves sitting only 3 games back of the AL wild-card.

Dombrowski took over for the Tigers in 2002, and the team lost 100+ games that season. Although it sounds awful, Donbrowski and company have gone to two World Series’ and at one point, 3 straight ALCS matchup’s.
