Following the move, Ben Cherington had declined the
opportunity to continue as general manager, the team added.
Dombrowski was released from his duties as Tigers president and
general manager earlier this month. He had been with the Tigers
since 2002, helping the franchise to a pair of World Series
appearances.
The Red Sox are in desperate need of a shakeup. They are last in
the American League East, the same position they finished last

“I am honored to have the chance to serve Red Sox nation,”
Dombrowski said in a statement. “There was no option that stood
out as clearly as the chance to come to Boston and win with the
Red Sox.”
