Francona Returns To Fenway Park

For the first time as an opposing manager, Terry Francona will walk into Fenway Park to face the Red Sox, the team he led to two World Series titles during eight seasons.

Francona said he hasn't given much thought to his homecoming, but he's certain it will conjure up some memories.

Choo Isn't Concerned About Upcoming Free Agency

Shin-Soo Choo resisted offers to re-sign with the Indians and insists that he isn't thinking about his pending free agency as he enjoys his time with the Reds.

"A lot of people ask me: 'Do you want to stay in Cincinnati? What do you want?'" Choo said.

"That's too far away. We're not at the end of the season; we're not at the end of the first half yet. I know why I'm here. Cincinnati gave up two good players, and they want to win a World Series. That's what I want, too. I've never played in the playoffs. I have a good opportunity to play with a good team."

Reynolds May Be Pricing Himself Out Of Cleveland

The Cleveland Indians are off to a great start this season, but there is cause for concern going forward.

Mark Reynolds, signed as a free agent away from the Baltimore Orioles this winter, may be hitting his way out of Cleveland's price range.

Reynolds is hitting .268/.354/.580 with 12 home runs and 37 RBI in 40 games.

The 29-year-old has a career line of .237/.333/.480.
