RED SOX PREGAME: Francona catches up with Astros GM Ed Wade

BY SEAN McADAM

HOUSTON -- Terry Francona spoke for several minutes on the field with Houston general manager Ed Wade during batting practice.

Wade was attacked by Astros pitcher Shawn Chacon earlier this week in a clubhouse confrontation. The Astros released Chacon Thursday for insubordination.

Wade was the Phillies GM when Francona was fired as the team's manager, but the two have always enjoyed a good relationship.

"It happened," said Francona of the dust-up. "It could happy to anybody."
