Managerial Notes: Red Sox, Alomar, Francona

By Dan Mennella | October 6, 2011 at 5:34pm CDT

The White Sox's unexpected hiring of former third baseman Robin Ventura is Thursday's hot news item regarding managers, but here are a few other nuggets of note:

  • The Red Sox now have the managerial market to themselves with the White Sox filling their vacancy, tweets Sean McAdam of CSNNE.com.
  • Indians bench coach Sandy Alomar Jr. must be the favorite, among the candidates we know, to become next Red Sox manager, McAdam adds in a separate tweet.
  • Alomar says he never heard from the White Sox about their opening and he's excited to be the Tribe's bench coach, tweets Paul Hoynes of the Cleveland Plain-Dealer.
  • Similarly, the White Sox did not contact Francona, who was a minor league manager in their system in the early 1990s, a source tells Rob Bradford of WEEI.com. All of the 30 Major League teams currently have managers, as Gordon Edes of ESPNBoston.com notes, so there will have to be turnover for Francona to be a skipper in 2012. That is still possible, though, as the Cubs, Astros and Orioles could be in the market, pending front-office changes, and the Cardinals may have to commence a search if Tony La Russa retires or moves on after the postseason.
  • The good news for the Red Sox, tweets Jon Heyman of SI.com, is that Rays bench coach Dave Martinez and Alomar are still available.

    Dan,

    Aren’t the O’s out of the discussion given the post from earlier?

      Yes, good point, although I guess there’s still an outside chance that they’ll hire a new GM and even more outside chance that the new GM will want to hire his own manager.

    I think he’s going to return to the Sox, just like Theo did. It’s just a pissing contest.

      That’d be nice, but I’m not seeing it.

    I know one large fan base will go on a shooting spree if they’re not in the market for a manager this off season

      Wouldn’t be referring to the north side of Chicago, would you?

    Alomar Jr. would be a good choice. Out of all the choices he’s the one that feels like he would be the best one to deal with the club house. Although if the Cubs grab Theo I would support getting Sandberg as payback.
