Former MLB general manager and team president Dave Dombrowski has joined the Music City Baseball group, which is aiming to land an MLB franchise in Nashville, Tennessee.
Dombrowski joins Hall of Fame manager Tony La Russa and three-time World Series winner Dave Stewart. La Russa and Dombrowski are both listed as baseball advisors on the group's official site, while Stewart is a board member and advisor.
The Tennesseean's Tommy Deas reported in January 2019 that La Russa and Stewart had signed on with an advisory group focused on bringing the big leagues to Nashville. La Russa emphasized how the city was expanding to the point where it could accommodate another sports team.
"We had just always talked about, since I left the Cardinals ... that Nashville and what's happening in that town as far as the growth, the excitement, what's happening with the football team and the hockey team, it's a natural for baseball," he said. "And that's where we are."
The city is hoping to land an expansion franchise or have an existing team relocate to Nashville.
