With the breaking news that Bobby Valentine is indeed about to be announced as the 45th manager of the Boston Red Sox, Paul and Tim take to the airwaves with instant reaction. Unlike much of the media or the court of public opinion, the Fireside Chats crew is prepared to give Bobby V a chance to tell us who he is and what he has come to Boston to do. Both of our co-hosts agree that given the world of possible outcomes, Bobby Valentine certainly isn’t a bad one. Is he ultimately the right man for the job? We’ll just have to see…

What does the hiring of Valentine mean for Ben Cherrington and Larry Lucchino? What does the signing of Jonathan Broxton by the Royals to a one year, $4 million dollar deal say about Daniel Bard’s future? Will David Ortiz agree to arbitration and stay with the Red Sox for one more season?

All that and more on this episode of Fireside Chats.

Thanks for listening!
