New CEO?

[VAMinnow]

Had a friend listening to Colin Cowherd on ESPN Radio. He said that Colin just reported that the Boston Red Sox COO has resigned to become the Miami Dolphins CEO.

Can anyone confirm or deny this?

I hadn't heard anything, so I did a search and it turns out your freind was right.

The big buzz at the invitation-only opening bash at the Lansdowne Pub the other night was that Red Sox COO Mike Dee is fleeing Fenway Park to live la vida loca in Miami, where he’ll become the CEO of the Dolphins . The announcement is expected to be made today.

I guess this means Joe Bailey was either fired or demoted.

Peter King also mentions this in his MMQB

Is this good or bad?

Well we are talking something that only really effects the business side of things. The Red Sox are a highly marketable MLB Team. I'd assume its an upgrade.

considering this guy is coming from a large market professional sports team, I would think this can only help our marketing and business approach

Probably a good thing. Doesn't have any impact on the football side of the team, so that is defintely a huge plus.

BP handles the football side. This guy will handle the business end.

From Peter King

I think the Dolphins could be stealing a big exec from the Red Sox any day now -- Sox chief operating officer Mike Dee --to be their CEO. Bill Parcells, the not-so-closeted Red Sox-a-holic, and Dee will get along just fine if the subject around the water cooler is Papelbon instead of Chad Pennington. I inquired about Dee to the Dolphins over the weekend. I thought the "no comment'' was telling. I hear if he goes, Dee will have nothing to do with the football side, but everything to do with ratcheting up the interest in the Dolphins on the business side.
