Boston Red Sox manager John Farrell on Robinson Cano heading to Seattle:
"That we’ll only face him seven or ten times instead of 19. You know what, free agency does some different things, and he’s a great player. You remember as a pitching coach, he’s a guy that keeps you up at night trying to find ways to attack him. But I’m glad he’s out of the East."
Had to figure this one was coming. I know of three other managers in the AL East that have the same feeling. That said, the Yankees have added bats including former Red Sox center fielder Jacoby Ellsbury.
And Farrell will sleep a little easier…maybe.
