It’s a sad day for Cleveland Indians fans as Terry Francona has announced his departure from the team after eight years as manager. Francona is the winningest manager in Indians history, leading the team to two World Series titles and six division championships. He also holds the record for most wins in a single season with 102 in 2017.
Francona is no stranger to success, having previously managed the Boston Red Sox to two World Series titles in 2004 and 2007. He was also named Manager of the Year three times, twice with the Red Sox and once with the Indians.
Francona’s departure from Cleveland comes as a surprise to many, as he had been with the team since 2013 and had been instrumental in their success. He was beloved by fans and players alike, and his presence will be sorely missed.
The Indians have yet to name a replacement for Francona, but whoever takes over will have big shoes to fill. Francona leaves behind an impressive legacy of success, and his impact on the team will be felt for years to come.
