Cleveland Indians' Terry Francona stepping down for rest of season due to health issues
Indians manager Terry Francona is stepping down for the remainder of this season to address some lingering health issues.
The 62-year-old Francona has been wearing a boot on his right foot all season after undergoing toe surgery for a staph infection in February. He's also dealing with a hip problem, which will require surgery.
This is the second year in a row Francona, a two-time World Series champion manager with the Boston Red Sox, has been sidelined due to his health. He managed just 14 games in 2020 due to a serious gastrointestinal issue that landed him in the Cleveland Clinic for weeks.
While hospitalized, Francona had blood clotting issues and he was placed in intensive care.
Bench coach DeMarlo Hale will take over on an interim basis for the rest of this season while Francona focuses on his health. Third base coach Mike Sarbaugh will take Hale's spot and assistant coach Kyle Hudson will move to third.

Ridiculous trade. Sad. Dolan is so cheap, he can't stand to pay $3 million for the last two months of the year on a 1-year rental player. You know he was pissed that Rosario got injured because he was going to trade him no matter what when they fell back in the standings, and that injury kept him from getting a coveted prospect to help keep the team as cheap as possible in the future.

The Indians franchise has officially transitioned from trading stars they wouldn't re-sign in free agency for prospects to build for the future, to now trading mediocre cast-offs just to save a buck. The trades they are making this deadline season are mostly pointless and a sad reflection of ownership.

"Hey want us to give you this player, we will pay half his salary and take your dead weight off your hands too" seems like a winning strategy.

I’m sure the homers will be by soon to say how stupid you all are for not recognizing the brilliance of picking up a fat guy in his mid-30s hitting .178

Dark days ahead. I'm finding it difficult to muster giving a shit, honestly. I used to follow this team religiously, I've barely paid attention this year.

Brilliant timing, really. You decide to rebrand yourself and will kick it off with a rebuild and terrible team in 2022.
I've said it before, this team not winning a WS with Tito...especially after going up 3-1 in 2016 just tells me they're never going to.

The problem here is, none of this matters. Is it a good move? No. What happens if they don't do it? Same thing. Guys other than Rosario or Sandoval are gonna play the rest of the way anyway.
