Feb 24th, 2008 • Coaches • Teams • Transactions
The Boston Red Sox have broken the curse, twice. Perhaps the recent success of this ball club is largely in part due to manager Terry Francona. On Sunday, Red Sox management decided to reward him with a three year extension averaging $4 million per year through ‘11. There are also two club options for ‘12 and ‘13.
“Terry Francona has done an outstanding job in managing the Red Sox over the last four seasons,”GM Theo Epstein explains. Francona is the only manager in Bo’ Sox history to take the team to three postseasons. The Boston Red Sox pulled off a 4-game World Series sweep versus the St. Louis Cardinals in ‘04 and the Colorado Rockies in ‘07 with Terry Francona as manager.
