The Cleveland Guardians have locked up skipper Terry Francona for another season, according to Zack Meisel of the Athletic.
Details of the contract, if they are indeed already set in stone somewhere, have not been released. Presumably, it would be a one-year deal, though, as the 63-year-old Francona has been dealing with health issues for the last two years and appears to be approaching the end of his coaching career. Whatever the deal looks like it, it’ll be a good one for Cleveland.
Since Francona took over in 2013, Cleveland has enjoyed winning seasons in all but one year.
