The Red Sox announced late Thursday that John Farrell's cancer is in remission, news discovered after tests the manager went through at Mass General Hospital on Thursday.
“I am extremely thankful for the outpouring of support I have received from the Red Sox, my family, friends, and fans throughout this process,” Farrell said in a statement. “I am also especially thankful for the talented doctors who cared for me in Detroit and here at MGH. I look forward to getting back to work and bringing another championship back to Boston.”
The team announced in early October that it would bring Farrell, who will speak to reporters on a conference call Friday afternoon, back next season for a fourth year as Sox manager.
