Dave Dombrowski Biography

Dave Dombrowski is one of the most popular and richest Baseball Manager who was born on July 27, 1956 in Chicago, Illinois, United States. David Dombrowski (born July 27 1956) is an American baseball executive who worked as President of Baseball Operations for the Boston Red Sox of Major League Baseball (MLB) from 2015 to 2019. Dombrowski was previously director general for the Montreal Expos, and the general manager and president of the Florida Marlins and Detroit Tigers.

Dombrowski began his career in his position in the Montreal Expos front office as director of player development during in 1987 Under Bill Stoneman, and on July 5, 1988 Dombrowski was appointed, at the age of 31 the general manager. He was the youngest general manager in MLB at the time.

Dombrowski spent more than a decade in Miami, working under owners H. Wayne Huizenga and John W. Henry. In 1996, he hired Jim Leyland to manage the team; they had previously worked together for the White Sox in the early 1980s, with Dombrowski as assistant general manager and Leyland as third base coach. Although Dombrowski built a sound minor league system, the Marlins achieved their first great success—the NL pennant and 1997 World Series title—with a team composed of many high-salaried players signed as free agents. The following year, Dombrowski presided over Huizenga’s mandated fire sale of those veteran players, and the Marlins failed to reach a .500 winning percentage in each of Dombrowski’s final four years with the franchise. In November 2001, Dombrowski left Florida to become the president of the Detroit Tigers. Nevertheless, after Henry sold the club in early 2002, the Marlins managed to rebuild behind a nucleus of young players, and the following season, with a roster consisting chiefly of players Dombrowski had acquired, the team won the 2003 World Series.

For the 2002 season, his first with the Tigers after being hired by owner Mike Ilitch, Dombrowski was to serve as president and chief executive officer of the rebuilding Tigers. Incumbent general manager Randy Smith would continue in his role, reporting to Dombrowski. However, when Detroit lost its first six games in 2002, Dombrowski quickly fired both Smith and manager Phil Garner. Dombrowski assumed the general manager’s role himself, becoming the first person to serve as both president and GM for the Tigers since Jim Campbell held both titles from 1978 to 1983.

Dombrowski is tied to Karie Ross who was the ESPN journalist from the year 1988 until 1990. They first met in 1992 when Dombrowski was the director of operations for the Florida Marlins and Ross was an ESPN reporter at WTVJ located in Miami. The couple has two kids.
