Red Sox Plan to Fire Bobby Valentine

The Boston Red Sox plan to fire first-year manager Bobby Valentine shortly after the season ends. According to CBSSports.com, the actual timing of Valentine's dismissal is unknown, and the team could even give him a chance to explain the Sox's poor performance this season. Under Valentine, Boston had a win-loss record of 69-92 which represents their worst year since 1966 when the team went 72-90. Boston also set a team record using 56 players this season due to injuries and lackluster play.
