You'd think teams would learn by now... the Philadelphia Phillies are hiring former Red Sox GM Dave Dombrowski as their new President of Baseball Ops, and Gabrielle breaks down why this is a confounding pivot for a team that has been open about not wanting to spend money. Dave Dombrowski is one of the biggest spenders in the game, so Gabrielle talks about how this may or may not be a fruitful partnership in the City of Brotherly Love. Will Dombrowski finally break out of his mold and build a team without a blank checkbook, or will this be yet another failure feather in Philly's cap?
