Sorry, Dave Dombrowski maybe has great hair and is a renowned wheeler-dealer, but I’m not sure he knows more about baseball than anyone else you might run into in any bar within a block or two of Fenway. Yes, I’m talking (again) about the NLDS Game 2 starter for the Los Angeles Dodgers whom Mr. Dombrowski couldn’t be bothered re-signing for six million bucks.

I have great respect for McLeod and other guys in the same spot like Actual GM Mike Hazen, but it’s generally all the same with the Cubs, Sox, Dodgers, etc. Epstein, DD, and Friedman are essentially GMs with greater control over their respective team’s front office.

Ryan Morrison talked about it a year ago on here: http://boston.locals.baseballprospectus.com/2015/08/24/what-does-president-of-baseball-operations-mean-anyway/

But Theo Epstein was not hired as, and has never been, the GM of the Cubs. He’s the president of baseball ops. Jason McLeod is too often forgotten.
