Boston Red Sox president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski wasted little time in revealing the fate of manager John Farrell.
Fans have been critical all year of the manager’s decisions, with #FireFarrell turning into a trending topic on social media even while the Red Sox were locking up the AL East division title.
Consecutive last-place finishes were apparently enough to wash away any support the manager earned by winning a World Series in his first season at the helm in 2013, while this season’s success was credited to the upgrades that Dombrowski made to the roster and breakout years from their stable of young stars.
