I think if they waited a week or two, he may still be managing next year, but this seemed like an emotional decision (perhaps for management and Francona), two days after the season.
I think he"ll be managing next season and to go one step further it will be somewhere in Chicago (most likely the south side). It just seems like a good fit.

I agree, he will be managing next year.

Let's see...Francona at $4-5 Mill a year or Sandy Alomar at $750K a year...which do you think Reinsdorf will choose? In the past 15 years he has never hired a manager who had ever managed before.

The fact that they outright claimed Alex Rios up off waivers a couple of years ago, tells me that they aren't exactly the most finacially prudent team in the world.

The only thing that makes me think that he wouldn't end up in Chicago is Kenny Williams. He seems like he could be very difficult to deal with.

Maybe the Cubbies will make a splash.

I'm pretty sure Kenny Williams put the claim in there as expections to block the move or negotiate a deal. Not just be given Rios and his contract and be told 'Have a Nice Day.'

While not really thrilled about Quade as Manager of the clubbers, I doubt they make a change there yet. But then if they bring Theo over (mistake), then a good possibility.

I love the hiring of Bobby V. Been a huge fan of his for a long time.

I'm not a big Red Sox fan but I hope Bobby V. does well. He's quite a character.
