After much interviewing and perseverance, the hunt for the next Red Sox manager may soon be over. The two front-runners for the position are Bobby Valentine and Gene Lamont. Bobby Valentine is 61 years old and has not managed in the majors since 2002, while Gene Lamont is 65 years old and is currently the Detroit Tiger's third-base coach. It is apparent that the Red Sox are now aiming towards a veteran manager, one who will not need much time to get the hang of things in Boston. Although Red Sox GM Ben Cherington said previously that he would like to have a new manager in place by Thanksgiving, it is now likely that an announcement will not be made until sometime early next month.
