2012 Red Sox (thread of despair)

I believe it was just made official.


The Boston Red Sox fired manager Bobby Valentine on Thursday, one day after completing the franchise's worst season in nearly five decades.
"Our 2012 season was disappointing for many reasons," Red Sox general manager Ben Cherington said in a written statement. "No single issue is the reason, and no single individual is to blame."


The Red Sox went 69-93 this season under Valentine, finishing last in the American League East.

Apparently the Sox and Jays have agreed to compensation and Farrell's been signed to a multiyear deal.

Edit: The compensation being Mike "Lowest OBP in the American League Among Batting Title Qualifiers" Aviles.
