The Red Sox announced this morning that they have
fired manager John Farrell (a move supported by about 55% of
FenwayNation readers). In a curiously-worded press release (laden with praise for Farrell's accomplishments), the team never specifies a particular reason for the dismissal. Simply stating that Farrell "will not return" as the 2018 skipper, they also state that the search for a new manager will begin "immediately". Likely candidates are:
Jason Varitek,
Gary Disarcina,
Brad Ausmus and
Alex Cora.
Stay tuned!
