NASHVILLE — Red Sox manager John Farrell just met with the media for about 25 minutes. He touched on a few topics in between answering questions from Toronto reporters about his leaving the Blue Jays.

In terms of right field, as the Red Sox move closer to a deal for Shane Victorino, Farrell said that defense is a major consideration for the Red Sox in that position and that they aren’t necessarily looking for a typical right fielder.
