dayyyyyyyyaaammmm

[Homebrewer]

Get on the phone Arte...the guy has a massive contact list.

[Homebrewer]

A job opening for Dipoto?

[Inside Pitch]

His contract was out after this season ...  I'm thinking he wanted out -- you don't let the guy you're going to can run your sell off if that's your intention and you don't replace him with his right hand man going back to his Marlins days...  Don't look now but Bill Stoneman has a relationship with Dombrowski....  A very close one.

[Mark68]

Kinda shocking.

 

On another note, does that mean now that Al Avila is in charge, he's gonna let his son walk via free agency? That's kind of a weird situation.

[AngelsLakersFan]

Sign him up Arte!

[CanadianHalo]

Sign Dombrowski with a 1 month probation period

Dombrowski signs Cespedes

Fire Dombrowski

2016 WS Champs!

[fan_since79]

Baseball is brutal sometimes. When the winning stops, people get fired.

[Inside Pitch]

BTW -- does anyone think that Arte wouldnt allow Dombrowski to bring in his own manager?  Or that the current manager would have more power and influence?   Time for Bill Stoneman to set the Angels up for another ten years.

[red321]

Tigers need to rebuild, and that's not Dombrowski's gig, especially at this stage of his career.

 

I wouldn't entirely be shocked to see him come to an organization like the Angel's. If he does come, than Arte is in a serious win now kind of mode.

 

Though, I'm not sure he's what the Halos actually need.

Decimates the tigers farm to win now? Check

Signs aging vets to long term deals with lots of dead money on the books? Check

Starting pitching a wreck with few prospects to fill holes? Check

Bullpen a mess and has been for some time? Check

Where do we sign up?

Btw, there isn't an established gm in baseball coming here.

Stick with servais/klentak.

Dave Dombrowski out in Detroit, but #Angels people don't see him landing in Anaheim.

 

 

 

I agree with Doc, I think we're going to see a young up and comer as our next GM, probably Klentak. And I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing.

[nando714]

Yeah I don't get all the hoopla around this guy.

[Tank]

in before storm tells us how wrong it is for the team to quit on the GM before the season ends.

[Pujols4MVP]

The only thing Dombrowski would do good for the Angels is sign the stars to long term contracts.....he would never let Trout leave, would overpay to keep him an Angel for life. He wont do Edmonds for Kennedy type trades.

I personally hope that they go with Klentak.

Bad example.  Didn't matter who the GM was, Edmonds was going to get kicked out of Anaheim.

He has a good track record obviously....but Detroit's pitching has been a mess the last couple of years and they have underachieved to some extent (probably expectations are part of the problem)... letting Scherzer go was a mistake....they have too many big contracts, just like we do with Weaver and CJ......DiPoto did try and help the situation with Skaggs, Santiago, Tropeano and Heaney however...not sure what Dombrowski's thinking was but he hasn't tried to get younger (maybe he has and I haven't noticed it)....

[Angel Oracle]

Agree with Servais/Klentak as the new GM.

[seenoevil]

I can envision many gms getting canned for Jerry dipoto lottery sweepstakes

Seriously? I find it hard to believe teams would line up to hire someone who up and quits a few weeks before the trade deadline because they weren't getting their way.

I think Dombrowski may have been dealing with some meddling of his own...  Their owner has one foot in the grave and he's been pretty desperate to win.  The Verlander and Cabrera deals were ugly, but fan favorites and legacy type players, those situations can end up ugly.  That Verlander deal -- just yuck..

[DMVol]

Yeah I don't get all the hoopla around this guy.

90, 93, 88, 95, 81, 86, 74, 88, 95 (WS)....wins the last 9 years....WC with Fish....successful with Expos... Edited August 4, 2015 by DMVol

[floplag]

No GM will come here to do as Scoscia says people, at least not one worth 2 cents. 
We wont get a legit GM till we get a new manager. 

i think its time for both to be honest.. whos down to Dombrowski/Black in '16?
