Dave Dombrowski needs to start getting paid like a player and not like a typical GM

One of the great executives in world of sports is Dave Dombrowski. Despite his efforts of elevating the Detroit Tigers, the club decided not to award him with another contract. Dombrowski is one of the greatest after he won championship with Florida Marlins and run the Montreal Expos. He is one of the best baseball tacticians and at 59 years of age, he still has more to offer to any club. The $3 million he earned with Tigers represents just a small ratio of what the executives would get in the market place.

Being a free agent, Dombrowski has caught eyes of various teams. The Toronto Blue Jays are looking to replace their outgoing CEO Paul Beeston and have made secret contact with Dombrowski to take the job offer. Boston on the other had have Larry Lucchion leaving the club and would be much willing to have Dombrowski as their head of baseball operation and would match Sam Kennedy. Los Angeles Angels also are looking for a GM.

If he feels that he doesn’t deserve any of these jobs, Dombrowski can take up the role in TV station where he will be having a pre-match, half-time as well as post match NFL analysis. It is yet to be confirmed if he would take a five year $35 million offer from Andrew Friedman the president of Dodgers.

This contract from Friedman would go up to $12 million an year but worry has if a free agent such as Dombrowski would be entitled to an eight figure salary. This comes after a thesis written by Lewie Pollis a student at Brown claiming that a valued GM should basically ear over $50 million a year provided he makes his players expandable and victory thirsty. He adds that someone like Dombrowski who elevated The Tigers from their famous 119 lose should be accorded with great respect and be accorded with the highest salary figure.

A new chapter can be written by Dombrowski where his brain can earn him more cash than it did before. He currently leads the Major League Baseball’s committee. He has a sharp mind and keeps his allies close.
