After five seasons in Boston, John Farrell will not return as manager of the Red Sox for the upcoming 2018 season. On Wednesday — just two days after the team lost their season-ending game to the Astros in the ALDS — the club announced that Farrell has been released and that the search for a new manager will begin immediately. President of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski is expected to speak at Fenway Park later during the day.
