Boston Red Sox skipper Terry Francona will no longer have Brad Mills to turn to on his bench.
Alyson Footer of MLB.com said on her Twitter page that the Houston Astros have hired the Red Sox bench coach as their next manager.
Mills had been with Francona for a long time as he was Francona’s first base coach with the Philadelphia Phillies from 1997-2000. Mills has been Francona’s bench coach with the Red Sox since the 2004 season.
