One year later, ESPN hired Terry Francona to join Shulman and Hershiser for the 2012 MLB season in exchange for Bobby Valentine, who has hired to be the Boston Red Sox manager. Francona stayed with ESPN for only one season before he was hired by the Cleveland Indians to be their manager for the 2013 season. On December 3, 2012, ESPN announced that John Kruk, who had been part of the "Baseball Tonight" team since 2004, would replace Francona join Shulman and Hershiser on the network's new "Sunday Night Baseball" crew for the 2013 MLB season. At the start of the 2014 season, Hershiser left ESPN to become an analyst for the Dodgers on SportsNet LA and was replaced by Curt Schilling; however, Schilling's subsequent diagnosis of and treatment for an undisclosed form of cancer led to his being unavailable to ESPN for most of the season. Shulman and Kruk worked as a two-man booth until Schilling joined them in September.
