Former Mets Manager Bobby Valentine Signs With Red Sox

Yesterday, the Red Sox hired Bobby Valentine, who managed the Mets from 1996-2002. Valentine led the Mets to the world series in 2000, which resulted in a loss to the Yankees. Valentine is replacing Terry Francona, who got fired in September, after the Red Sox had a big collapse. Aside from the Mets, Bobby Valentine has also managed other teams whether MLB, or Japanese league. He managed the Texas Rangers from 1985-1992, he managed the Chiba Lotte Mariners in 1995, and managed them again from 2004-2009. Valentine has been a very successful manager, and hopes to be successful with the Red Sox.
