I've seen some podcasts where the idea of Francona being one and done is becoming a discussion. Seems like an unlikely outcome, but it would be a major embarrassment for the organization if it happened. He does seem incredibly frustrated and snippy in his dealings with the media, and IMO he's one of the nicer guys in the game.
IMO, he needs to give ownership an ultimatum. Spend a little more money or find another manager.
With the potential of a lockout on the horizon, I could see him looking at this season and being ready to go back to retirement life. I wouldn't blame him a bit.
