Manager John Farrell sits in the visitors’ dugout on the third base side during Toronto’s final trip to Boston this season. But the question on everyone’s mind is: Will he be sitting in the other dugout come April?

Just over a year ago manager Terry Francona and the Red Sox parted ways, and the organization reached out to Farrell, who had just finished his first season as Blue Jays skipper after spending four years as Red Sox pitching coach. Now, with Bobby Valentine on the managerial hot seat in Boston, speculation again has turned to Farrell.
