Bobby Valentine, most recently ESPN analyst and broadcaster, less recently Japanese baseball champion manager, previously MLB manager for the New York Mets and Texas Rangers, was hired as manager by the Boston Red Sox.
While Boston is gaining a firm leader with vast and personal baseball knowledge, ESPN is losing a credible and frank commentator on its Sunday night baseball telecasts as well as Baseball Tonight. This will leave Dan Schulman and Orel Herschiser to toss it around between themselves in the booth unless the network seeks to keep it a trio for whatever reason like forced banter.
A shame because the Sunday night games seemed to work nicely, but according to news reports the Red Sox clubhouse needs to get its collective behind kicked, and Bobby is the guy to do it.
