This team may be lousy and sloppily constructed, but it's not 12-below-at-the-deadline lousy. Farrell and his guys should be the first ones out the door whenever management decides to start firing people. The players have quit on Farrell, because he's a domineering pain-in-the-ass and a poor leader. The coaching staff has been a complete embarrassment.
Say what you will about Cherington, but anyone who advocates for a scenario where he goes and Farrell + the coaches stay is f***ing nuts.
