Former Red Sox manager Terry Francona, whose new book offers a revealing look at his relationship with Sox ownership, is scheduled to appear on The Big Show on Tuesday at 5 p.m.

Francona, recently hired to manage of the Indians after one year as an ESPN analyst, left the Sox following the collapse of September 2011. In “Francona, The Red Sox Years,” he discusses his often-tumultuous eight-year relationship with players and executives in Boston. Francona accuses the ownership group of caring more about public relations and TV ratings than baseball success. He also explains his difficulties in dealing with mercurial personalities such as Manny Ramirez.

    Something tells me he won’t be as open and candid as he is in the book.  Even at that, none of the stuff mentioned so far to be in the book is a surprise.  Literally time to turn the page Terry, you’re with Cleveland now.  That should be your focus.  Not the “Wrong Doing” in Boston.  Thanks for 8 fun years….er, well at least 6.

    Shouldn’t he be more concerned about managing the Cleveland Indians right now?

      i think he can probably afford to take 15 minutes of his day for an interview don’t you?

    time for a little payback right tito. He put up with a ton of bull in Boston, Sell the damm team and get out Henry,Werner and Lucchino

    what a classless act he is turning into.  teaming up with blow boy shaugnessy, a.k.a. the curly haired boyfriends really lowers my opinion of the jerk.  go on cleveland radio, fool.

    Tito’s new team must LOVE the fact that he’s spilling the beans about what went on at his last job.  It’s gotta make those Cleveland players wonder…
    Let it go, Tito.  It’s over.  They can’t hurt you anymore.  Just let it go.
