Color me shocked.

 

[DangleCity]

The first step in the right direction

 

[TootooTrain]

That was awfully quick..

 

[hockeykicker]

Apparently per multiple people, Brad Ausmus is the favorite to become the new Redsox manager

 

[BMOK33]

He's headed to Philly most likely it sounds like.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

I wonder if Farrell is the first MLB manager fired after winning his division in his final 2 seasons?

Mattingly won the division in 13, 14 and 15 before Dodgers gave him the boot.

Girardi has a shot to have a 2nd firing after winning manager of the year although he probably finishes 2nd

 

[Hire Sather]

I don't know much about how the Sox are day to day, but two years in a row they were outclassed in the postseason.

Oh god, that would be great.

 

[hockeykicker]

Oh god, that would be great.

They basing this off of Dave Dombroski relationship with him

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Technically, that was not called a firing. Good old 'mutual agreement'.

 

[Terry Yake]

pretty shocked at this

and i absolutely hope they hire ausmus. i wonder if therere's any chance ferrell ends up with the mets

 

[tony d]

No surprise to see Farrell get let go. Oh and hope Ausmus is not the next manager for the Red Sox.

 

[John Price]

Hope Ausmus is next manager that would be almost as bad as the Valentine Sox years

Anything to ensure Yankees continued domination is encouraged

 

[GarbageGoal]

Not really a surprise. Once again the old "let the boys be boys" attitude sunk a Boston manager.

What Red Sox fans should really fear is Dombrowski being in charge of a good old fashioned early-mid 2000's Yankees style free agent bonanza, giving away any prospect who isn't tied down. Of course, they're welcoming it. They want Stanton, JD Martinez, Moustakas, etc etc etc.....

But Boston is above doing what "The Evil Empire" does...

Seriously the inferiority complex of these Red Sox fans makes me sick. They constantly contradict themselves

 

[Cloned]

I mean, as much as he's not a good manager, this wasn't really his fault.

Not his fault Chris Sale decided to dress up like David Price in the playoffs. And it wasn't even Halloween yet.

 

[GuitarGuy]

Wow. I was shocked to see this happen so quickly after they got knocked out of the playoffs. Now the Red Sox have all off season to look for a new manager.

[Terry Yake]

interesting

wonder what farrell did/said that led to this

 

[Virtanen18]

Not surprising - he's not really a good manager. They were better without him.

 

[KaylaJ]

i plan to read that book about the Sox this season whenever someone writes it

 

[SpookyTsuki]

Not his fault Boston doesn’t have elite pitching
