Francona, in his second year with Cincinnati, has 2,033 career wins, placing him 12th on the all‑time list. A 93‑win season would lift him into the top 10 and add to his legacy.
He has guided teams to 12 playoff appearances, could reach 13 if the Reds make the postseason, and has two World Series titles. A Reds championship would tie him with several legendary managers for three titles.
