Terry Francona might be ready to pull himself from the game.
One of baseball’s most popular managers and the winningest in Cleveland history, Francona said Tuesday that he has had serious talks with the organization about his future, hinting that this could be his final season.
Known simply as Tito , by virtually everyone in the game, Francona has endeared himself to most Cleveland fans with his personable style - he rides a scooter from his downtown apartment to Progressive Field - and because his teams win. Francona’s health has been better this season after he was forced to step down during the 2020 and 2021 seasons due to serious health concerns.
Francona said he has spoken at length to team president Chris Antonetti and general manager Mike Chernoff. The team has kept his contract open-ended, essentially allowing him to manage for as long as he wants.
