Farrell had a 432-378 win-loss record over five seasons, guiding the Red Sox to the 2013 World Series title, and was under contract through next year. But Red Sox president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski said the team would look for new bench leadership after Boston lost 5-4 to Houston on Monday, losing a best-of-five series 3-1. Farrell's Red Sox teams also won division crowns in 2013 and 2016. Farrell began his major league managerial career with the Toronto Blue Jays in 2011, guiding the team to a 154-170 record over two seasons. His first job as a coach was as Boston's pitching coach on a 2007 World Series champion squad.
