Will Francona retire? 

"I need to go get healthy for my life, and this lifestyle is just too difficult," Francona said Wednesday. "I also know how I feel about doing the job a certain way, and I don't think I can necessarily do that anymore. And that bothers me."

Baseball would miss him. Maybe we can lobby Cleve to pick up Popkins as field mgr since they need some punch (winks).

I think Cleveland should do what this thread title unintentionally implies and hire Tony LaRusa.
