Your Take: Red Sox Fire Bobby Valentine - Problem Solved?
After leading the team to its worst season since 1965, Bobby Valentine is fired Thursday as the manager of the Red Sox.
To the surprise of no one, the Boston Red Sox on Thursday fired manager Bobby Valentine.
According to ESPN.com, "Our 2012 season was disappointing for many reasons," Red Sox general manager Ben Cherington said. "No single issue is the reason, and no single individual is to blame. We've been making personnel changes since August, and we will continue to do so as we build a contending club."
Valentine is a native of Stamford. His firing comes on the heels of a dismal season that saw the Red Sox finish in last place in the American League East and fail to make the playoffs for the second time in two years.
