Francona, lleno de energ¨ªa y expectativas, fue presentado por los Rojos
Francona, lleno de energ¨ªa y expectativas, fue presentado por los Rojos
7 de octubre de 2024
Mitch Stacy/Associated Press
Hay que darle cr¨¦dito al presentador Marty Brennaman, quien puso en contacto a los directivos de los Rojos de Cincinnati con Terry Francona, quien se convertir¨ªa en el nuevo m¨¢nager del equipo.
Despu¨¦s de que David Bell fue despedido al final de la campa?a anterior, Brennaman, de 82 a?os, le llam¨® a Francona y le urgi¨® a su amigo a que al menos considerara la opci¨®n. Francona, de 65 a?os, hab¨ªa anunciado que dejar¨ªa la posici¨®n con los Guardianes de Cleveland al final de la campa?a 2023 citando problemas de salud.
¡°?l y yo tenemos una gran amistad y siempre he respetado el hecho de que es uno de los mejores m¨¢nagers que he visto¡±, indic¨® Brennaman, quien fue narrador entre 1974 y 2019. ¡°Cre¨ªa que era importante para m¨ª, como amigo, llamarle y preguntarle, ?quieres regresar?¡±
Franco respondi¨® que estar¨ªa abierto a escuchar a los Rojos. Entonces directivos del equipo lo visitaron en su casa en Arizona y no les tom¨® demasiado convencerlo de volver al b¨¦isbol.
¡°?Marty, puedes creer que estoy aqu¨ª parado?¡±, dijo un sonriente Francona al narrador al pararse en el podio el lunes para su presentaci¨®n oficial con el equipo.

Francona asegur¨® que est¨¢ descansado, saludable y con la energ¨ªa para asumir la labor de una larga temporada de b¨¦isbol.
"Cuando me buscaron los Rojos comenc¨¦ a ver al equipo m¨¢s de cerca y vinieron a visitarme y se sinti¨® bien", asegur¨®.
Francona, quien jug¨® como jardinero de los Rojos bajo el mando de Pete Rose en 1987, reemplaza a Bell, quien fue despedido en los ¨²ltimos d¨ªas de su sexta campa?a con el equipo y con marca de 409-456.
Francona acord¨® firmar por tres a?os hasta el final de la campa?a 2027, con opci¨®n del club para el 2028.
Conocido como Tito, Francona llega a Cincinnati como uno de los m¨¢nagers m¨¢s amados. Tiene marca de 1.950-1672 en 23 a?os como m¨¢nager de las Grandes Ligas con Filadelfia (1997-2000), Boston (2004-2011) y Guardianes (2013-2023). Llev¨® a Cleveland a la postemporada siete veces en 11 campa?as y gan¨® 921 encuentros.
Pero se vio afectado por serios problemas de salud en su ¨²ltimo a?o en Cleveland, pero tras anunciar que dejar¨ªa al equipo no quiso decir que ser¨ªa un retiro.
Francona se sent¨ªa bien cuando lo visitaron el presidente de operaciones de los Rojos Nick Krall y el gerente general Bradn Meador. Para cuando concluy¨® la reuni¨®n, Francona estaba listo para ponerse el uniforme.
Los Rojos terminaron con marca de 77-85 esta temporada, pero cuentan con uno de los peloteros m¨¢s din¨¢micos con el dominicano Elly de la Cruz y una potencial rotaci¨®n profunda con Hunter Greene al frente.
