Terry Francona will manage his last home game for the Guardians tonight against the Reds at Progressive Field.
This is it for Francona, the winningest manager in Cleveland baseball history. Wednesday night will be his last home game. Then there will be three more games over the weekend against the Tigers at Comerica Park.
Francona, however, spent time talking to him. Santana was upset when they signed Mike Napoli before the 2016 season because he thought it would cost him time at first base. Napoli, Francona and Santana talked it over and settled things before it became an issue. That left them with two healthy starters in Corey Kluber and Josh Tomlin. So they found a skinny left-hander named Ryan Merritt to start the biggest game of the season to reach the World Series. While all that was going on, Francona revolutionized the way teams use their bullpens -- especially in the postseason.
That never seemed to bother Francona. He was especially good in spring training. After the baseball questions would end, he’d talk about the University of Arizona basketball team, his latest prank on Mike Barnett, the team’s replay coordinator or. . .Michael Jordan.
