John Farrell is out

Not a shock really. The last two postseasons they didn't seem to give a shit. That falls on the manager. Not sure who the you out there that's available

The 2017 team was weirdly unlikable - they never did find a replacement for Papi's leadership (and power). Too many in-game decision errors.

But....who? DiSarcina? Will be interesting to watch (as a 50 year Red Sox fan!)

That fire sale of 2014 was one of the dumbest and greedily things I've seen.

I agreee. T he y were unlikable and didn't seem to like each other.

Not keeping Epstein was the dumbest thing he could ever do for the Red Sox.

Dave Eiland and Don Wakamatsu. Maybe Dale Sveum, too.

I can tell you that Dale Sveum is not the answer.
