Sandy Alomar Jr. is no longer in the running to be named the next manager of the Red Sox. Alomar is currently Cleveland's bench coach. "I had a talk with Sandy this weekend and told him how much I think of him, and that I think he's going to be a really good Major League manager one day," Boston general manager Ben Cherington said, "but that he wasn't going to be the choice for us in 2012." Alomar, 45, interviewed with both the Cubs and Red Sox this offseason for the open manager roles. It was also rumored at one point that he was on the short list of candidates for the job with the White Sox.
