Bobby Valentine isn't interested in talking about when or if he'll make a return to the major leagues. The former New York Mets manager is perfectly happy here in Japan.
Valentine's Chiba Lotte Marines hold first place in the Pacific League, he's adored by the Lotte fans, admired by his players and is getting some of the best sushi to be had on the face of the earth. What's not to like?
On top of all that, Valentine, who is in the middle year of a three-year contract with the Marines, gets to do a lot of things over here he'd never be doing back home.
