Red Sox Notes: Managerial Search, Farrell, Gonzalez

By Zachary Links | October 23, 2011 at 8:53pm CDT

With the Red Sox expected to name Ben Cherington as their GM on Tuesday, the organization must now focus on finding their next manager.  Here's the latest on their search and more..

  • Commissioner Bud Selig told reporters before tonight's game that the Red Sox and Cubs will have until November 1st to work out a deal before he intervenes, writes Sean McAdam of CSNNE.com.  Meanwhile, it's expected that Mike Hazen, the current director of player development for the BoSox, will be promoted to assistant GM when the dust settles.
  • There will no more dialogue between the Red Sox and Cubs on compensation for Theo Epstein until after the Tuesday press conferences, Sean McAdam of CSNNE.com (via Twitter) has been told.
  • Recently, Blue Jays GM Alex Anthopoulos told Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca that they do not require rival teams to seek permission to interview their employees.  That leads Davidi (via Twitter) to believe that they would not seek compensation should John Farrell decide to leave for the Red Sox.
  • While there has been industry speculation that the Red Sox could go after a current manager of another big league team, they have no such plan at this time, a source familiar with the team's search told Alex Speier of WEEI.com.  That would rule out possible candidates such as John Farrell of the Blue Jays and the Padres' Bud Black.
  • Once he takes over as GM, Ben Cherington figures to interview candidates like Tim Wallach of the Dodgers, Dale Sveum of the Brewers, Pete Mackanin of the Phillies, and Dave Martinez of the Rays, writes Scott Lauber of The Boston Herald.  If the Cubs decide to replace Mike Quade, Cherington may find himself vying with Epstein for Ryne Sandberg.  Boston courted Sandberg to manage Triple-A Pawtucket before he took the Phillies’ Triple-A job instead.
  • More from Alex Speier of WEEI.com as he wonders aloud if the Red Sox's first baseman of choice still would have been Adrian Gonzalez if they waited until after 2011 to make their move.  Gonzalez's seven-year, $154MM contract goes into effect in 2012.
