From Alex Speier's 108 Stitches email today:
"A major league source familiar with the team’s thinking said on Monday that the Red Sox continue to have full faith in Farrell’s leadership abilities, and that despite the struggles of the first two months of the season, the team hasn’t changed the view that led it to confer a two-year extension upon him in spring training."
It's only an unnamed "major league source familiar with the team’s thinking" of course. But I haven't seen anything in the media to the contrary, no rumors of the front office considering replacing him. Has there been anything out there other than fan griping? Seems like if they really were considering whether to replace him, there might be a leak or two getting out there about the front office being disappointed or concerned about the manager or the clubhouse, etc.
Everyone has their own opinions on whether or not Farrell should be on the hot seat or not. But according to Speier's source, he is not currently under any heat from the only ones whose opinions matter.
