Great work by Joon. This part especially stood out to me. I’ve always felt the Sox on-field downfall began when they fired Dombrowski. He was the last strong voice they had that could force big deals to be signed.

Don't cover the Red Sox (obviously) but can say this with 100 % certainty when it comes to the industry: Alex Cora is, overwhelmingly, considered far better at his job than Craig Breslow is at his. And it's not remotely close.
