Red Sox owner John Henry and general manager Ben Cherington met the team in Seattle yesterday, but they don't appear to be there to implement further changes. Henry told reporters that he doesn't plan to fire manager Bobby Valentine despite Boston's recent struggles and 62-74 record. Here are some more Red Sox-related notes...
- Blue Jays skipper John Farrell, who has long been connected to the Boston job, says that he is "unequivocally" committed to Toronto, writes Shi Davidi of Sportsnet. Farrell also disclosed that his contract expires after 2013. General Manager Alex Anthopoulos has always declined to reveal the length of the manager's contract in the past.
- The Red Sox should dismiss Valentine and hire Terry Francona again, Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports writes. Rosenthal makes it clear that Valentine won't return to Boston in 2013, but reports that Francona won't be invited back either, according to people familiar with the situation. The team's owners will try to 'lower the volume' with their next hire, Rosenthal writes. Plus, Francona could draw interest from other teams.
- Red Sox players don't trust owner John Henry, chairman Tom Werner and president Larry Lucchino, Yahoo's Jeff Passan reports. The players see the owners as the source of leaks and lies and they have an equally frustrated relationship with Valentine, Passan writes. The Red Sox need to dismiss Valentine before the 2013 season, Passan writes.
