They trade the entire team to the Dodgers and now some poor manager will get to manage an old team.

Was reported during yankee game last night, surprised no one posted it.

I only heard it on the replay today.

Rumor has it that the Red Sox have already contacted and have a verbal agreement for their next Manager

From the Italian International League

5x Championship Cup wins in 6 years

Bobby V's big mistake was backing down with Youkilis, Pedroia, et al. He should have gone in guns blazing and not backed down.

Shocking. He was a disaster from day 1, and it continued through game 162, throwing his assistant coaches under the bus when he knew he was likely on his way out. A mediocre at best in game manager, and a miserable people manager. What a mess.

That's not to say the entire 2012 Sox disaster was his fault, I don't think anyone would have been able to take this injured mess to the playoffs, but he just made it that much worse

There was too big of a disconnect there in the dugout and locker room between Valentine & the former core of the Red Sox players. He should've just stayed at ESPN. Now they'll hire John Farrell and the Red Sox fans will think they'll win the World Series in '13.

Valentine will be managing nowhere...not after he threw his coaching staff under the bus. Who does that?

no...trading for JJ and Justin Upton will help w/ that. :D

I hope not. At least not until I finish off picking off about 10-15 of the major cards I need for my collection, lol.

I would be happy to see Farrell or Dave Martinez in Boston.

Wait....mahoody posted they signed enrique palazzo & you posted they got jimmy valentino.

BUT THE PICTURES SHOWN ARE OF THE SAME PERSON!

Is this like the fausto carmona/ leo nunez fiasco where this new manager has two names?

He also looks like bobby valentine, ironic the sox would hire a look a like.
