They are going to regret letting Francona go.

I don't think so, Francona wanted to leave. Managers have a shelf life no matter how successful they were. The next manager may not be "better", but a different direction and voice was needed in the dug out.

Lots of nice talk, but Francona got fired. The Sox allowed him his dignity, but he still got fired. I think the White Sox will be thrilled to get him as will the Chicago players. I expect that Theo won't be far behind him, (and he'll probably end up on the other side of Chicago from Tito). John Henry gave Theo a blank check and he has not produced since 07. Henry expects to get more for his money than he got this season. Look for Ben Charrington to be the new GM and for the Sox to make a play for John Farrell. Ya, he's under contract but so is Theo and money talks.
