BOSTON -- Dave Dombrowski was on his way to a news conference to discuss the end of the Boston Red Sox season when he passed manager John Farrell, who had just finished meeting the media.Seemed like as good a time as any to tell Farrell he still has a job.John Farrell will be our manager for 2017, Dombrowski said Tuesday, a day after the Red Sox were swept out of the AL Division Series by the Cleveland Indians. He is all set, and his whole staff will be invited back.Farrell guided the Red Sox to the World Series title in 2013, his first season as Boston manager, but followed with a pair of last-place finishes. In 2015, the Red Sox were stumbling along in fifth place when Farrell was diagnosed with cancer and replaced on the bench temporarily by Torey Lovullo; Dombrowski was hired a week later as president of baseball operations.This season, the Red Sox went from worst to first, taking the AL East title thanks to an 11-game winning streak in September. But they lost five of their last six games in the regular season, costing them a chance at home-field advantage in the playoffs, and then three in a row to Cleveland.Speaking 30 minutes before Dombrowski, Farrell said they hadnt yet discussed his future or his coaching staff. On his way back down to the clubhouse, that changed.There are some decisions you need to address as quickly as you can because you know how important they are, Dombrowski said, explaining that he anticipated the question. Hes our leader going forward. Hes very well-respected and it gives him the clear mind he needs going forward.The Red Sox have an option on Farrells contract for 2018. Dombrowski said he will discuss that with owners before making a decision.On a day the Red Sox had hoped to be playing Game 4 of the ALDS, they instead cleaned out their lockers in the Fenway clubhouse. Slugger David Ortiz did not make an appearance during the hour the room was open to media, but pitcher David Price said Ortiz made his presence felt after the game when he told his teammates that they should be proud of what they accomplished.He gets the message out every time, Price said. He spoke from the heart. Everyone listened and appreciated it.After signing a $217 million, seven-year contract as a free agent, Price led the team in innings and strikeouts but was second on the staff to 22-game winner Rick Porcello. Both struggled against Cleveland, and for Price it was part of a postseason failure habit he had been hoping to reverse.I didnt get it off my back, said Price, who fell to 0-9 in his career in the playoffs as a starter. I know that until I do, its going to be a topic of conversation.Ortiz wont be back, retiring with 38 homers -- the most ever for a 40-year-old and for a player in his final season. He told his teammates after the 4-3 loss to Cleveland on Monday night that they have the talent to build on their 2016 AL East title.Boston has three potential stars on the roster -- MVP contender Mookie Betts and fellow All-Stars Xander Bogaerts and Jackie Bradley Jr. -- all in their twenties. Prospect Andrew Benintendi played well in a September call up; Yoan Moncada did not hit well during a late-season tryout, but Dombrowski also expressed faith in him.We have a lot of good, young players, good teammates, good guys, Bogaerts said. We have a lot of stuff to be optimistic about. Nike Air Max Tn Cheap Uk .

Discount Air Max Uk .Y. - Rob Manfred was promoted Monday to Major League Baseballs chief operating officer, which may make him a candidate to succeed Bud Selig as commissioner. A look at whats happening all around the majors Saturday:---PRICE IS RIGHTRed Sox left-hander David Price (16-8, 3.81 ERA) looks to extend his career-best winning streak to eight games when Boston hosts the rival Yankees at Fenway Park. Price has allowed two or fewer runs in six consecutive starts. Right-hander Bryan Mitchell (1-1, 6.14) goes for New York, which has lost five of six and is struggling to stay in the AL playoff race.TOUGH TRIBEJustin Verlander (14-8, 3.33 ERA) has been roughed up by the Indians this season but gets a chance at some redemption when the Tigers continue their AL Central showdown in Cleveland. Verlander is 0-3 with a 9.18 ERA against the Indians in 2016, part of the reason Detroit trails first-place Cleveland by seven games. The right-hander is 9-14 in 25 career starts at Progressive Field.THUMBS UP?Cardinals slugger Matt Holliday will test his broken right thumb when he faces some live pitching with the hope he might be able to return this season as St. Louis makes a playoff push. The outfielder hasnt played since Aug. 11, when he was hit by a pitch. He had surgery to insert a screw for the fracture, but his thumb remains sore. Its clearly not 100 percent, Holliday said. Its more stable than it would be if I had not had the surgery.HELP ON THE WAYWith the Mets in a tight NL wild-card race, first baseman Lucas Duda is set to be activated from the disabled list after recovering from a stress fraacture in his lower back.dddddddddddd Duda hasnt played since May 20, but has been taking batting practice and will be integrated slowly. Left-hander Steven Matz, who has not pitched since Aug. 14 because of shoulder tightness, is scheduled for a bullpen session. And right-hander Jacob deGrom (forearm) will start Sundays series finale against Minnesota in his first appearance since Sept. 1. In addition, Gold Glove outfielder Juan Lagares (thumb) was activated from the DL before Friday nights win but will be limited to a defensive-replacement role.BIRD MANOrioles right-hander Chris Tillman (16-5, 3.68 ERA) faces Tampa Bay in his second start since returning from shoulder bursitis. Tillman beat Detroit on Sunday and can reach a career high in wins by defeating the last-place Rays. Tampa Bay will counter with Matt Andriese, who is 0-3 with a 9.24 ERA lifetime against Baltimore.FAB FREDDIEBraves bopper Freddie Freeman is expected back in the lineup against Washington, looking to reach base safely for a career-best 37th straight game. Freeman was not at the ballpark Friday to spend time with his wife and their first child, a son who was born on Thursday. During the streak, Freeman is batting .362. His run is the longest for Atlanta since Chipper Jones reached safely in 41 consecutive games in 2008. ' ' '
