According to the AP, heres the following story, "After managing the Boston Red Sox to two World Series championships in four seasons, Terry Francona was rewarded Sunday with a three-year contract extension that runs through 2011.
The deal includes club options for 2012 and 2013, which would give him a full decade as manager if the team exercises them.
Francona also received something else: a touching e-mail from general manager Theo Epstein as final details were being worked out Saturday night.
“It was just personal (about) what we’ve been through since the very beginning,” Francona said after Sunday’s spring training workout. “It meant a lot to me. He means a lot to me.”
Francona guided the Red Sox to World Series sweeps of the St. Louis Cardinals in 2004, their first title in 86 years, and the Colorado Rockies last year. He succeeded the fired Grady Little when he signed a three-year contract on Dec. 4, 2003. Francona later received a two-year extension through the 2008 season"
WE SAY, who cares....Yankees are the best :)
