The Reds are hiring Terry Francona to be their next manager. What!? I couldn't believe it. Francona was on my initial list of candidates I thought the Reds should and would reach out to, but I didn't actually think it was very realistic.

Terry Francona has been officially introduced as the manager of the Cincinnati Reds. Surrounded by team officials, media members and well-wishers, the 65-year-old Francona says he feels healthy and is ready to take over for the fired David Bell.
