Francona is a "name" manager. There's no way any manager with any kind of options (this includes remaining a broadcaster) is going to take this job. You have an empty minor league system, a dumpster fire of a roster, a bumbling front office, and ownership that will not spend money to improve. I can't imagine anybody looking at this job, and saying "sure, I'll give it a shot". Maybe Sandy takes it. Maybe they need to start looking for "Lou Brown".

Got a guy on the other line asking about some White Walls.

Yeah, Acta is out effective immediately and Alomar Jr takes over as Manager for time being. Adam the Bull on 92.3 is the only person I've seen reporting that Terry Francona is talking with the Tribe.

I thought that the GM and President were going to get evaluated first. Manny was the fall guy but I would like to see them get someone with a little fire in their belly for laughs if nothing else.

What's ridiculous is that management even managed to screw this up. If you wanted to get a look at how Alomar would handle this team them Acta should have been fired a month ago. Don't give a guy 6 freaking games to prove himself. How the hell did the FO fuck this up too?

Why the hell would Francona come here? Cheap owner, incompetent President/GM combo, below average talent in the majors, NOTHING in the minors, and the inability to bring in ANY (even bad) free agents. Sounds like a perfect match for a two-time World Season winner.
