NH Summer League Team Offers Job To Francona
LACONIA, N.H. (AP) -- Former Boston Red Sox manager Terry Francona could have a new job in New Hampshire -- if he's willing to work for $6,000 per year.
The Laconia Muskrats of the New England Collegiate Baseball League faxed a job offer to Francona's agent immediately after he was released from his contract with the major league club last week, but haven't heard back.
