I'm a huge Tek fan, but I question his readiness to be a manager.
He may be the best we can find, at this point, and he'll likely just be an interim manager anyways, unless the team over achieves under him.
The guy know baseball and knows the opposition very well.
Sox 4 Ever
At that point, you move on. We don’t even know yet if there is a mess to drag anyone in to.
It’s interesting that Roenicke is already implicated, and according to some, these scandals clearly involve upper management and ownership, which should implicate Tek. But going outside (where you really don’t know what the guy was doing) is how the Sox got into this mess.
Just promote Roenicke and move on. He’s been around the league and even managed teams before without any cheating scandals...

Not according to his most recent interview. He stated the Sox and Mets hadn't contacted him.
JANUARY 19: To this point, neither the Mets nor the Red Sox have reached out to Baker to discuss their respective positions, he tells reporters, including Brian McTaggart of MLB.com (Twitter link). Baker will interview for the Astros’ managerial job tomorrow.
