So which party is pushing for a split? According to the Chicago Sun-Times, Francona is the one who wants out.
Francona has had enough of his eroding Boston experience, a major-league source said, and will ask the club not to exercise the option on his contract.
"He has had his fill of the whole thing,’’ the source told the Sun-Times.
Whatever the case may be, Francona is expected to meet with the Red Sox on Friday morning, at which point a resolution of the situation is expected. From all indications, Francona's tenure as manager will come to an end.
