Morning Sports Update: Dombrowski on Lovullo and D-backs: ‘We would not stand in his way’
Red Sox president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski commented on his team’s search for a general manager and the Arizona Diamondback’s search for a manager; the Bruins picked up a victory in Winnipeg; and the Patriots’ upcoming game against the Steelers might be missing a big star.
Dave Dombrowski says Red Sox won’t stand in Torey Lovullo’s way with Diamondbacks’ job: “I’ll be surprised, I would say, if they don’t ask for permission to talk to Torey,” Dombrowski said. “I know how highly we think of him and how highly Mike thinks of him. But I can’t speak for that. That would have to be something that Mike would answer. Of course, we would not stand in Torey’s way, as we discussed last week. In my opinion, he’s ready to be a Major League manager. Would he end up being their top selection? I can’t answer that. We would not stand in his way.” [MLB.com]
Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger undergoes knee surgery: “And while the Pittsburgh Steelers are optimistic their franchise quarterback will return sooner rather than later after tweaking the knee in the second quarter of a miserable loss in Miami on Sunday, the odds of Roethlisberger being ready for a visit from Tom Brady and the New England Patriots six days removed from the operating table is remote.” [Boston.com]
