Bobby Valentine To Be Fired By The Red Sox, According To Jon Heyman [UPDATE: Valentine Fired]

[UPDATE: Earlier today, Valentine and the Red Sox parted ways. See ya later, Bobby. I'm sure Sox fans won't miss you.]

The Sox went from having a very good most of the season last year, to missing the playoffs on the final day, to firing Terry Francona and hiring Valentine, and to having a disaster of a season by being in the basement of the AL East. Very out of character for the Sox to have such a terrible season, and Bobby V is partly, not wholly, at the source of it.
