Manager John Farrell said he doesn’t know much about Red Sox former owner Tom Yawkey, but he knows the current owner well enough to trust his opinion.
If John Henry wants to rename Yawkey Way, Farrell is on board.
“I guess the only thing I can say about it is, fully support what John Henry and our ownership group is trying to do,” Farrell said. “This is well beyond our day-to-day at field level, but there have been so many efforts to pay attention to our social needs in our community, in the city of Boston. Our ownership does a great job of trying to create an atmosphere of inclusion, and take very intangible and active steps to do that.
