† During the ownership tenure of Mrs. Jean R. Yawkey, Haywood Sullivan and Buddy LeRoux became general partners.[1] A purchase of the team from the estate of Tom Yawkey was approved by the league in May 1978, resulting in each of Mrs. Yawkey, Sullivan, and LeRoux having a one-third controlling interest in the team as general partners.[2] This stood until March 1987, when Yawkey bought out LeRoux, following a failed attempt by LeRoux to take control of the team.[3] Mrs. Yawkey's majority ownership of the team passed upon her death in February 1992 to JRY Trust, which later bought out Sullivan in November 1993.[4]

Notes

  1. From September 27, 1960 to October 6, 1962, the duties usually held by a general manager were split between executive vice president Dick O'Connell, manager Pinky Higgins, and scouting director Neil Mahoney.
  2. Theo Epstein briefly left the team during the 2005–06 offseason; the general manager position was initially vacant, then was jointly filled by Ben Cherington and Jed Hoyer until Epstein's return.
  3. After Mike Hazen left the team in October 2016, president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski was the de facto general manager, although he did not formally hold the title. The general manager position remained vacant until filled by Brian O'Halloran in October 2019.
