Hot Stove: Cardinals reportedly interview Terry Francona 11.09.11 at 10:27 am ET

Terry Francona

Terry Francona may be moving on already.

The former Red Sox manager interviewed for the Cardinals’ open manager’s spot on Tuesday, according to The Associated Press. The interview took place in Cincinnati, where Cardinals chairman Bill DeWitt Jr. lives.

The Cardinals are looking for a replacement for Tony La Russa, who managed St. Louis for 16 years before retiring two days after the team won the 2011 World Series.

Francona managed the Red Sox for eight seasons, leading the team to two World Series titles in that time. He resigned after Boston’s September collapse.

The Cardinals have already interviewed Mike Matheny, Joe McEwing and Chris Maloney. The team is thought to be bringing in third base coach Jose Oquendo and Hall of Fame second baseman Ryne Sandberg. Sandberg managed the Phillies’ Triple-A squad last season.

WEEI.com was first to report that Francona would be interviewing Tuesday.

    So, if I have a truckload of cow manure dropped at Pawngo, Todd Hills will take it as a light-hearted gesture. He should be familiar with the smell, give the place where his head seems to be.

    Nice marketing, if Massachusetts media outlets cared, they’d stop covering this RIGHT NOW.

  • SMGOMES68

    IT’S A SINFUL SHAME HOW QUICKLY WE DISCARD, GREATNESS WITH ONE MISTAKE. WITHOUT WES, WE’RE NOT EVEN IN THE SUPER BOWL, SO DEFINITELY NOT A LIGHT HEARTED GESTURE. RATHER RUDE AND INCONSIDERATE.  LUV YA WES WELKER

  • Anonymous

    What’s a half-hearted apology?  What does it take to get a full-hearted?  You’re the journalist who brought it up.  Journalists like you turned a verbal assault on a player wife into a sports story.

  • Piglet5235

    At least they can count all of New England out of any chance of a potential customer base. We love Wes. Lighthearted? I think not.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_LU55IEO2AFLTTJN5XAAHOUTEEI sammie

    I can tell you where Pawngo can stick their “lighthearted”  Butterfingers–let’s ask them afterwards how lighthearted it feels to them. You lost a lot more than New England with that stupid stunt.

  • Marima

    : P   Pfffftttttt

  • Linda Greaney

    I believe EVERY Patriot fan should boycott PAWNGO AND ALL AFFILIATES…. THAT INCLUDES DAYLIGHT PARTNERS, GROUPON, ACCESS VENTURE PARTNERS AND LIGHTBANK.  
    Your stunt was mean and NO ONE should want to do business with you.  How about your resignation Todd Hills???

  • Bgr

    For a player who has done so much for the Pats and his teammates this company should is a disgrace to do something like this.  I would never ever buy another Butterfinger bar.

  • Daisy Earnshaw

    what does butterfingers have to do with this? blame pawngo

  • mikepatriot

    Do i want wes Welker back for a couple of seasons, absolutel;y. Do i think wes welker f’d up in the game, positively. That was a catch HE knew he should have maintained posession of and the play was the last BEST opportunity to close the deal imo. The candy bars thing definitely rubbing salt in the wounds, not that it will ever go down well, but to pull a prank like that this close to the actual event, “tasteless.”

    Branch dropped a ball. Hernandez dropped a ball. Fans of the Pats should also keep the mindset of the Pats: they win as a team, they lose as a team. There were many plays that should have been completed. It wasn’t just one.

    As for Pawngo…tasteless, deliberate, unnecessary and rude. And shame on them for giving Butterfingers a bad name. 

  • Cobrajml

    Only person who should be upset about this is wes welker. I love the pats and everyplayer on the team, but 900 pounds of butterfingers doesn’t bother me.. now if wes welker asks me to boycot them then I will.. but who cares it doesn’t change anything he is still one of the best!

  • Jimwkirk

    There are many a-holes in the world. CEO’s have, in the past few years, have proven to be in the group. This guy, for being so fundamentally petty, could lead the group. Is he a Jersey Shore person?

  • Tim Allen

    Hilarious prank! People need to chill out.  Your team just lost the superbowl to the same team twice, you gotta expect a little bit of fun being poked at the Pats.
