Days after Pete Abraham of the Boston Globe speculated that Red Sox manager John Farrell could start to feel some pressure on his job, Ken Rosenthal reported that ‘some’ players don’t believe their skipper backs them up enough.
Rosenthal, like Abraham, doesn’t believe that Farrell’s guaranteed to be fired in the near term, or at all. Nevertheless, the Red Sox clubhouse is approaching disarray.
“Some players, but not all, believe that (Farrell) does not stand up for them strongly enough to the media when the team is struggling, sources say,” Rosenthal writes.
