Reds Manager Terry Francona Sheds Light on His Focus Going Into 2025 Season

Reds manager Terry Francona joined MLB Network's Hot Stove last week and discussed his return to the dugout in Cincinnati. Francona, a three-time Manager of the Year, prefers to focus on the team effort behind the recognition rather than discussing the individual honor. "When I was in Cleveland, I had them take it out of my contract because when you're the manager, I think you're supposed to think of everyone but yourself," Francona told MLB Network. Francona took the Guardians to six postseason appearances from 2013-2023 and will look to take the Reds to the postseason in 2025.
