The Red Sox have fired manager John Farrell, the team announced Wednesday.
Farrell, who did not address the media after Boston’s playoff elimination at the hands of the Astros this week, was under contract through the end of the 2018 season.
Boston won the AL East for the second consecutive time this season, the first time in franchise history the club accomplished that feat, with its second straight 93-win campaign. This year marked the second straight ALDS exit for the Red Sox, though.
Farrell, a former Red Sox pitching coach, was hired as manager in 2013 after two seasons managing the Blue Jays.
