Red Sox manager John Farrell has received a lot of praise for his role in the team’s remarkable turnaround this season that ended with a World Series championship.
Even the President called to congratulate him.
But the recognition isn’t over yet, as Farrell was named one of the finalists for the American League Manager of the Year Award on Tuesday. Oakland’s Bob Melvin and Cleveland’s Terry Francona are the other two finalists.
Since the award’s creation in 1983, two Red Sox managers have won (John McNamara in 1986 and Jimmy Williams in 1999).
The award is voted on by the members of the BBWAA and the winner will be announced on Tues., Nov. 12.
