No Francona in 2012

Terry Francona told Sean McAdam of CSNNE.com that he will not manage next season.
There are only two managerial vacancies left in MLB now that the Cardinals have settled on Mike Matheny and Francona doesn't see himself as a fit with the Cubs. "I've talked to Theo numerous times,'' said Francona. "We both know each other well enough where we can can be honest with each other. I don't think it's the right opportunity. I need to take a step back and re-energize. That's probably in my best interest right now. In fairness to myself, it's the best thing to do.'' We'll probably see Francona in the broadcast booth this season, but you can bet that he'll be mentioned with any prominent managerial vacancy next offseason.

I'm calling it right now, Francona will be the manager of the Washington Nationals in 2013.

I suspect FOX just landed a new employee for a year

You think Francona can help Tebow?
