As promised, Red Sox general manager Ben Cherington began the managerial search this week, contacting at least two candidates to succeed Bobby Valentine.
Dodgers third base coach Tim Wallach is scheduled to interview Friday, while Padres special assistant Brad Ausmus could come in Tuesday or Wednesday, according to a major league source.
Comments
The Red Sox can and should save their excellent minor league prospects by hiring Ausmus, Wallach, Lovullo, Alomar, or one of several other excellent managerial candidates who require no compensation to another team, unlike Farrell.
