News about Terry Francona

Guardians president Chris Antonetti expressed his excitement for Vogt after the recruitment was complete on Monday. 'Stephen made a name for himself as one of the best players in the game throughout his 16-year career as a player, and we've enjoyed the opportunity to get to know him over the past weeks,' Antonetti said. Despite not having any managerial experience, the candidate was chosen over several others. Craig Counsell, Milwaukee Brewers bench coach Carlos Mendoza, Los Angeles Dodgers first-base coach Clayton McCullough, Chicago Cub bench coach Andy Green, and San Francisco Giants bullpen coach Craig Albernaz were among the potential candidates, according to Milwaukee Brewers boss Craig Counsell, New York Yankees bench coach Carlos Mendoza, Los Angeles Dodgers first-base coach Craig Albernaz.

Noah Syndergaard, the Cleveland Blue Jays' recently acquired veteran pitcher, yielded five runs in a 10-7 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays on Sunday, and the Cleveland Guardians have designated Noah Syndergaard for assignment. Cleveland manager Terry Francona said, 'He just had trouble keeping it in the ballpark.' Only a couple of hits for a long time.' But then, the family runs get in the way a little bit, and I'm sure it annoyed him.' After the game, Francona did not discuss Syndergaard's fate. Syndergaard, who turns 31 on Tuesday, did not talk to reporters. In 18 starts with the Dodgers and Guardians, Syndergaard is 2-6 with a 6.50 ERA in 18 starts. For the first five weeks of the season, he owed $2,446,237 of his $13 million salary. Cleveland acquired Syndergaard from Los Angeles in exchange for infielder Amed Rosario. The Dodgers agreed to pay Cleveland $1,873,118 to pay a portion of the $4,682,795 Syndergaard owed at the time. Rosario's $7.8 million contract was worth $2,809,677.

José Ramrez, the Cleveland Guardians All-Star third baseman, had his MLB suspension for fighting with Tim Anderson of Chicago. On Saturday, the team went from three games to two. During Cleveland's series in Tampa Bay, Ramrez, who knocked Anderson to the ground with a bizarre, well-placed punch, will serve the suspension this weekend. 'Not having him for ten minutes isn't fun, let alone two (games),' Guardians boss Terry Francona said before Saturday's match with the Rays. "But I'm glad it's two rather than three rather than three." This morning, we received the final decision.'

Tim Anderson is not in Chicago's starting lineup on Sunday, but Cleveland's Jose Ramrez is playing as Major League Baseball weighs likely discipline following a tumultuous brawl in Saturday night's game. Anderson and Ramrez threw punches at second base, and the Guardians' All-Star third baseman knocked down the White Sox shortstop with an overhand right to the chin. Anderson was dazed by the blow. Both players were ejected, as well as Cleveland manager Terry Francona, third base coach Mike Sarbaugh, closer Emmanuel Clase and Chicago boss Pedro Grifol.

After being released from a Kansas hospital on Wednesday after a recent health scare, Cleveland Guardians manager Terry Francona has been advised to stay away from the team and take a few days to recover. Francona spent Tuesday night in the hospital after he felt sick before the team's game against the Kansas City Royals.

Terry Francona, the Cleveland Guardians' general, will remain in the hospital overnight after being sick before Tuesday night's game against the Kansas City Royals. According to the team, the 64-year-old was admitted to The University of Kansas Health Systems to be analyzed "out of an abundance of caution" due to his medical history. Francona did not recover well during the 2020 and 2021 seasons due to a variety of physical ailments.

Larry Vanover, a Major League Baseball umpire, was released from the hospital on Friday, two days after being struck in the chest by a Guardians player during a game against the New York Yankees. After being under medical care for two nights, Vanover was released from the Cleveland Clinic and will stay off the field until he is cleared by MLB's medical staff. He was scheduled to work in Cincinnati on Thursday. In the fifth inning, the 67-year-old was struck on the left side of his head by a throw from Guardians All-Star second baseman Andrés Giménez, who was firing toward home plate on the play. Giménez was less than 50 feet away from completing his mission.

Beer sales in the Arizona Diamondbacks, Texas Rangers, Minnesota Twins, and Milwaukee Brewers are also extended into shorter games in 2023. MLB has said that it does not have to worry about when teams sell alcohol. The seventh inning has been used by the majority of franchises as a cutoff, for the most part, to avoid overserving customers who may need to get in their cars and drive home. The change, according to Erin Payton, Regional Executive Director for Mothers Against Drunk Driving, does nothing to resolve safety issues: 'We don't want people to drink alcohol and then drive home from the game,' no matter whether it's seventh or ninth innings.'

In 2020, the former infielder dealt with gastroesophagiae and blood-clotting issues. In 2021, he underwent hip and toe surgery, and he was forced to miss several Guardians games. 'Everybody says, ''Do you have perspective?''' As he began planning for his 11th season with Cleveland, the 63-year-old said Sunday. When we lose, we get sick.' When we win, I'm really enjoying. I love doing what we do, but I also have. I've always loved it. All I'd be doing was wishing I was in baseball if I wasn't in baseball.' Francona has won two World Series titles and was named AL Manager of the Year thrice since being an MLB General Manager in 1997.

On Tuesday night, Cleveland's Terry Francona and New York's Buck Showalter were named Managers of the Year, boosting both veteran baseball managers' already stellar resumes. Showalter, the third person to win a fourth Manager of the Year award and the first to win with four different franchises in a tight competition, was just the third individual to win a third Manager of the Year award. In 1994, Rangers in 2004, Orioles in 2004, and now the Mets, he won with the Yankees in 1994, Rangers in 2004, and the Rangers in 2004. Hall of Famers Bobby Cox and Tony La Russa are the other four-time champions.

Due to rain Monday night, Game 5 of the AL Division Series between the Cleveland Guardians and the New York Yankees has been postponed. The game was supposed to commence at 7:07 p.m. on Monday night, but Major League Baseball announced at 9:36 p.m. on Tuesday that it had been postponed until 4:07 p.m. due to continued bad weather. MLB had earlier announced that the game was postponed until about 6 p.m., but the game was postponed more than three hours later.

Zach Plesac, the Guardians' starting pitcher, was reportedly fired by the Creative Arts Agency just a season after suffering another injury. Plesac hurt himself this time after losing a home run to Mariners' Jake Lamb and punching the pitcher's mound in anger afterwards. He was later added to the team's injured list, and Cleveland boss Terry Francona said the 'best case' was him missing a week. Plesac has not played since August 27.

Mike Trout of the Angels' streak of consecutive games smashing a home run stopped at seven runs, one shy of the major league record, and the Cleveland Guardians defeated Los Angeles 3-1 on Tuesday night. With three quick flyballs and a walk, Trout went 0 for three on the streets. The three-time AL MVP was on a home run for eight games in a row, set by Pittsburgh's Dale Long in 1956 and matched by Don Mattingly of the Yankees in 1987 and Seattle s Ken Griffey Jr. in 1993. Trout admitted that the prospect of chasing history had been on his mind during the game.
