As part of the inquiry, baseball investigators have interviewed the Red Sox team trainers and outfielder Chris Young, a former Yankees player. The Red Sox told league investigators that the team’s manager, John Farrell, general manager, Dave Dombrowski, and other front-office officials were not aware of the sign-stealing operation, the people said.

The Red Sox have apparently added a modern — and illicit — twist: They used an Apple Watch to gain an advantage against the Yankees and other teams.
This place isn't a hivemind. There are all sorts of people with all sorts of opinions. Farrell is going to get roasted for everything he does whether it's right or wrong.
Farrell:
13 - WS
14 - last damn place
15 - last damn place
16 - 0 for ALDS
17 - ?
If they can't even show up to the ALDS this year, why would he stay around? Francona was fired after not making the WS for 4 straight years. Is it Farrell's turn now?
I'm hoping it's just a rough patch. Hard to really call it an implosion until a lot of behind the scenes stuff gets leaked.
They have a lead in the division and an ok schedule. They should be able to win the division.
