The Red Sox have announced that Eddie Romero has been promoted to the position of senior vice president and assistant general manager, as Brian MacPherson of the Providence Journal was among those to report (Twitter links).
Boston will not hire a single general manager to work under president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski, at least at this time, the club also added. Instead, Romero and fellow AGM Brian O’Halloran will combine to take the top two roles beneath Dombrowski in the organization’s baseball ops hierarchy.
Romero had run the team’s international amateur scouting department since 2012 and has been with the organization since 2006. Evan Drellich, then with MassLive.com, spoke with Romero a few years back about his experiences mining the Latin American market for young talent. Romero has overseen many notable international acquisitions, including top prospect Yoan Moncada.
The move comes in the wake of several significant front office moves out of Boston. One candidate for an AGM post, Amiel Sawdaye, chose instead yesterday to follow former Sox GM Mike Hazen to the Diamondbacks. Several other notable organizational figures — including, most recently, mental skills coach Bob Tewksbury — are also leaving, as Alex Speier of the Boston Globe documents.
I blame John Henry for thinking he didn’t need Theo & Co.
Think DD has stepped on a few toe’s that jump ship is a new Red Sox term? Sure looks that way!
And Tews leaving might have something to do with a club house full of head cases out of control!
Really? It seemed like the Red Sox had some pretty good chemistry this season. Only Sandoval has been a real issue over the past couple of seasons…
he hasn’t played well (or in 2016, just plain hasn’t played), but I have heard nothing but good things about Sandoval as a team mate.
I was referring to the accident where Sandoval was on instagram during a game midway through the 2015 season. And coming to spring training 20 kg overweight is not really a good thing either…
Either way bad business decision not baseball decision which was the problem hopefully it’s viewed as such and he wastes away in Pawtucket like Castillo and doesn’t hurt our payroll as much moving forward
So does a toe have ownership over ‘that’? What on earth are you attempting to say?
Is it that the Red Sox won’t hire a GM OR they can find anyone willing to or wanting to work directly under Dave Dombrowski?
Its more about the fact that that person won’t have a say than dd personally I feel everyone knows whose in charge there why waste time resources signing someone who probably wants more of a voice
OR why accept a position with an organization where you have no say. That is a an issue with/for Dave Dombrowski.
Idk ask theo or cherington were for years ownership/luchino would mettle with affairs and force decisions ala crawford wasn’t that the same reason for the theo gorilla suit episode?
DD is King.
The English language has taken eight steps backwards due to the comments that were uttered in this thread. Go back to middle school.
Didn’t realize you were a professional writer would love to read your column…if you don’t like what someone says or don’t understand don’t comment and the childish insults not a big deal I remember saying them back in high school freshman year when I thought I was cool to
