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.
