Francona, lleno de energía y expectativas, fue presentado por los Rojos
Francona, lleno de energía y expectativas, fue presentado por los Rojos
7 de octubre de 2024
Mitch Stacy/Associated Press
Hay que darle crédito al presentador Marty Brennaman, quien puso en contacto a los directivos de los Rojos de Cincinnati con Terry Francona, quien se convertiría en el nuevo mánager del equipo.
Después de que David Bell fue despedido al final de la campaña anterior, Brennaman, de 82 años, le llamó a Francona y le urgió a su amigo a que al menos considerara la opción. Francona, de 65 años, había anunciado que dejaría la posición con los Guardianes de Cleveland al final de la campaña 2023 citando problemas de salud.
“Él y yo tenemos una gran amistad y siempre he respetado el hecho de que es uno de los mejores mánagers que he visto”, indicó Brennaman, quien fue narrador entre 1974 y 2019. “Creía que era importante para mí, como amigo, llamarle y preguntarle, ¿quieres regresar?”
Franco respondió que estaría abierto a escuchar a los Rojos. Entonces directivos del equipo lo visitaron en su casa en Arizona y no les tomó demasiado convencerlo de volver al béisbol.
“¿Marty, puedes creer que estoy aquí parado?”, dijo un sonriente Francona al narrador al pararse en el podio el lunes para su presentación oficial con el equipo.

Francona aseguró que está descansado, saludable y con la energía para asumir la labor de una larga temporada de béisbol.
"Cuando me buscaron los Rojos comencé a ver al equipo más de cerca y vinieron a visitarme y se sintió bien", aseguró.
Francona, quien jugó como jardinero de los Rojos bajo el mando de Pete Rose en 1987, reemplaza a Bell, quien fue despedido en los últimos días de su sexta campaña con el equipo y con marca de 409-456.
Francona acordó firmar por tres años hasta el final de la campaña 2027, con opción del club para el 2028.
Conocido como Tito, Francona llega a Cincinnati como uno de los mánagers más amados. Tiene marca de 1.950-1672 en 23 años como mánager de las Grandes Ligas con Filadelfia (1997-2000), Boston (2004-2011) y Guardianes (2013-2023). Llevó a Cleveland a la postemporada siete veces en 11 campañas y ganó 921 encuentros.
Pero se vio afectado por serios problemas de salud en su último año en Cleveland, pero tras anunciar que dejaría al equipo no quiso decir que sería un retiro.
Francona se sentía bien cuando lo visitaron el presidente de operaciones de los Rojos Nick Krall y el gerente general Bradn Meador. Para cuando concluyó la reunión, Francona estaba listo para ponerse el uniforme.
Los Rojos terminaron con marca de 77-85 esta temporada, pero cuentan con uno de los peloteros más dinámicos con el dominicano Elly de la Cruz y una potencial rotación profunda con Hunter Greene al frente.
