"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bobby Valentine is the newest name to be connected with the open Boston Red Sox managerial position, according to MLB.com. Valentine has most recently managed in Japan.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sources have told MLB.com that Red Sox executives have spoken with Valentine, but no interview has been scheduled.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;General manager Ben Cherington will be in the Dominican Republic for the weekend, so there will be little movement with regards to the search until he returns. He says a new candidate will be identified next week.\nValentine, who managed both the New York Mets and Texas Rangers, is currently an analyst for ESPN.&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
