Dave Dombrowski out as Tigers GM
Dave Dombrowski has been released from his contract as Detroit Tigers general manager, the organization said Tuesday. Assistant GM Al Avila will be his replacement.
"I feel this is the right time for the Tigers to move forward under new leadership," owner Mike Ilitch said in a statement.
Dombrowski spearheaded an impressive turnaround in Detroit, but he failed to deliver a World Series for the Tigers.
The team found itself in the position of seller at the non-waiver trade deadline, shipping out ace David Price (Blue Jays), closer Joakim Soria (Pirates) and slugger Yoenis Cespedes (Mets) in a flurry of action.

I'm surprised to hear this. What do Tigers' fans think?
