Will Red Sox regret bypassing Brad Ausmus?

SAN FRANCISCO — The Red Sox had a chance to hire a hot managerial prospect in Brad Ausmus but elected to go with the more established and familiar John Farrell.

Someone likely soon will scoop up Ausmus, a Cheshire, Conn., native, because he was born to manage. But it won’t be in the city he wanted to manage in more than any other, at least not now.

Comments

Would like to see Ausmus hired in some capacity into the Red Sox org. As a coach? In Baseball Ops? new creative suggestions and ideas from someone who has been outside the organization would breathe new life into it at this point.
