The Red Sox have announced John Farrell will be their new manager.  Comcast SportsNet New England was first to report the deal. Farrell had one year remaining on his contract with Toronto, where he went 154-170 over the past two seasons. The Red Sox have agreed to send the Blue Jays compensation for letting Farrell leave for their AL East rival.  Farrell was the Red Sox pitching coach for four seasons before Toronto hired him as manager two years ago. He was Boston’s top target when Terry Francona was let go after the team’s September collapse in 2011, but the Blue Jays would not allow him to leave. (AP)
