AP sources: Phillies hire Dombrowski to lead baseball ops
PHILADELPHIA โ The Philadelphia Phillies have hired longtime baseball executive Dave Dombrowski as president of baseball operations, according to two people familiar with the decision. The people spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Thursday night because the team hadnโt announced the move. He said in October he would be willing to step aside sooner to make way for a new baseball operations boss. Dombrowski has led baseball operations for Montreal, Miami, Detroit and Boston, winning World Series titles with the Marlins in 1997 and Red Sox in 2018. The Phillies havenโt had a winning season since taking five straight division titles, two National League pennants and one World Series crown from 2007-11.
