Valentine, who managed the Mets in their World Series loss five years ago to the Yankees, is in the second year of a three-year contract with the Marines.
He's the only foreigner to manage in the Japan Series and only the fifth to head a team in the 70-year history of the league.
Valentine, the only man to manage in both the World Series and the Japan Series, brushed aside the World Baseball Classic, a 16-nation World Cup-style tournament to be held in March featuring professional players from the major leagues and Japan.

Perhaps it was a fitting place for the Osaka Kintetsu Buffaloes' slugger to end one of the greatest individual seasons in Japanese pro baseball history, one filled with success and glory but also falling a few steps short of being truly magical.
The former Cubs outfielder led the Buffaloes to their first Pacific League pennant since 1989, but despite hitting.333 and two home runs in the Japan Series, he shared the disappointment of a one-sided defeat in which the Buffaloes sputtered to a series record-low.171 team average.
The 33-year-old Rhodes, who finished the series with five hits in 15 at-bats and drove in half of the Buffaloes' 14 runs, likely will finish his career in Japan.
