After a string of health issues in recent years, Terry Francona is feeling great headed into his 11th season with the Cleveland Guardians.
Francona, speaking at spring training in Arizona on Sunday, stepped away from the team in 2021 after hip and toe surgeries. That came a year after gastrointestinal and blood-clotting issues. The 63-year-old, however, isn’t ready to step away anytime soon.."I hate when we lose. I really enjoy when we win. But I love doing what we do, but I always have. I've always enjoyed it.
Francona isn't limping as much anymore after his surgeries, one of which was a hip replacement, and he has a metal rod in his foot. But seemingly back to full strength, and, Francona seems happy headed into the season this spring. "I think just him being in the clubhouse, it breeds confidence, first of all," outfielder Steven Kwan said of Francona,
."I mean you kind of just feel a little easier when he's walking around, you know that the big dog is at the top, at the helm."
