Why is John Farrell still the manager of the Boston Red Sox?
Is some perverse sense of loyalty or sympathy in play? I have concluded that this is like gravity and represents a mystery. A natural phenomenon that is unexplainable unless there is some insight not being provided by ownership or Dave Drombowski.
Management has no problems fortifying the team for a run at the playoffs with a series of bold and not so bold moves all designed to address a weakness. Drew Pomeranz was acquired to solidify the rotation.
