Default Breaking News: Red Sox to Fire Grady Little

ESPN is reporting that the Red Sox will fire manager Grady Little today. I guess making it to the ALCS isn't enough for Boston.

The guy won there....that's all I can say.

This has been a foregone conclusion since game 7 of the ALCS. They are all mad at him there.

They can't fire him, his contract is up.

Grady Little didnt deserve to get fired because he has done a great job with this team over the past 2 years. The decision to keep Pedro in screwed him over, but if the red sox had been in the world series, that meeting today would've been about a contract extension.

According to ESPN, he had a rollover option. Therefore, when the Red Sox refused it, he was fired.

The Sox don't have to renew, thats what "option" means.
You would have to be under contract to be "fired".
