Cleveland Guardians Manager Terry Francona on his future with the team: ‘It’s Time’

CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) - Cleveland Guardians Manager Terry Francona told SiriusXM’s MLB Network Radio Tuesday afternoon that “it’s time.”

The 64-year-old has battled an array of health issues over the recent years.

Most recently, Francona underwent precautionary testing at a Kansas City hospital after feeling lightheaded before a game in June.

“It’s time,” Francona said to SiriusXM’s MLB Network Radio. “My body is telling me that, my head is telling me that...I’ve been pretty clear with the guys I work for and told them to start preparing because it’s time.”

It’s unknown at this time who would take over for Francona if he were to leave the team.
