CHICAGO - The new manager of the Red Sox entertained the old manager of the Red Sox in his office several hours before Sunday night’s series finale against the Cubs.

One year ago, Bobby Valentine sat alongside ESPN teammates Dan Shulman and Orel Hershiser, asking Terry Francona about the Red Sox. Valentine was the one trying to get information about the ball club. Sunday afternoon at Wrigley Field, it was Francona asking Valentine about Andrew Miller, Ryan Kalish, and Adrian Gonzalez.
