John Farrell moves from Boston's pitching coach to become the new manager of the Toronto Blue Jays. I don't think that this move is a bad one for Farrell or for the Red Sox.
Farrell inherits a team that played over .500 all year & had one of the most explosive offenses in the AL. The Red Sox get to bring in someone with a new set of eyes & new ideas to work with the pitching staff.
In baseball you see hitting coaches & pitching coaches change teams every 3 to 5 years. You can only tell players the same things so many times before the law of diminishing returns comes into play. It's good to get new ideas from new staff.
Good luck to Farrell. We'll see him 18 times a year.
