I don’t want to push Terry Francona into a premature decision, but it seems pretty clear from his recent comments that he is leaning toward retiring at the end of the 2023 season, primarily due to health concerns. I’m sure we would all wish him the best in his treatment and surgery plans. I also look forward to plenty of time to reflect on his time in Cleveland and the good he brought to the Guardians’ organization as the manager for the past 11 years.
In the meantime, I thought it might be helpful to look at some names who may be under consideration to step into the role of Cleveland Guardians’ manager.
