BOSTON - Boston manager Grady Little is not sure he wants to be back with the team next season, according to a published report.
Little, second-guessed for keeping Pedro Martinez on the mound in the team's 6-5 11-inning loss to the New York Yankees in Game 7 of the American League Championship Series after Martinez struggled in the seventh inning, will not be surprised if he's fired.
"I am not sure that I want to manage that team," Little told the Boston Globe. "That's how I felt when I drove out of town."
Little said he has not heard from team officials since returning to his North Carolina home.
"All I know is that when I left there, there was some hesitation," he said. "That's all I need to know."
The club has an option on Little's contract for next season.
