10:53 AM ET 09.08 | Bobby Valentine will be fired virtually the moment the Red Sox season ends Oct. 3. And, of course, Valentine knows it. More important for the Red Sox is getting the next hire right. They already have their top choice to replace Valentine in John Farrell, according to a high-ranking official who requested anonymity because the Toronto Blue Jays manager is under contract. Farrell is beloved by the organization after serving as pitching coach from 2007 to 2010. If they can't pry away Farrell, who'll be the focus of attention at Fenway Park today as the Blue Jays open a three-game series there, look for the Red Sox to turn to Mike Scioscia if he is fired by the Los Angeles Angels. If they can't get either, they'll be more likely to bring back Grady Little than keep Valentine.

The Angels would be stupid to fire Scioscia, and Scioscia would have to be stupid to take the Red Sox job if it is offered.

The reek of desperation in Boston is incredible right now... I have no idea how what is happening doesn't constitute Tampering...
How can they publicly state they are going after so many contracted personnel, without some sort of repercussion?

Because the last time I checked, the USA today has nothing to do with the Red Sox. Nobody from within the organization has ever brought up Scioscia's name.

He doesn't make the playoffs this year with that roster the Angels may just boot him out of town.

I see where you're coming from, but he's had too much success with less for the Angels to jettison him just because of this year. Pujols under-performed, which really wasn't his fault, and the division ended up being a lot tougher than a lot of people projected (the A's? WTF?). I say he's got at least another year there.

Talking about Scioscia might be totally the reporter's idea, or possibly someone whispered the name in his ear to prompt him to write this story, so the organization can see how the fans react. I don't see it as a good fit but who knows how Scioscia and the organization think.

as you can see it, the red sox do expect mike sciocia been fired from the halos franchise, but in life anything could happen we don't know if the angels owner be too satisfied with the poor work in the halos offense, and the albastros season from punchless pujols,,,

I think he's done alright, but for years he hasn't really hasn't had a lot of competition over the years in that division until recently. Plus he's had the advantage of only having 3 other teams in the division to beat out each year.
I also think that Angel ownership and Albert would love to see LaRussa running the team next year.

He's under contract until 2018, so it will be costly if they do.

sometimes manager changes workout and sometimes a new manager would likely take him years before he can find the right strategy and right chemistry in the team, larussa was in the national league and in the american laRussa has not manager a game since 89 i think,,,

when a owner refuse to accept any bad season, or he refuse to acknowledge the good job by their manager, those things usually happens when the ownership becomes blinded by too many wrong judgmental towards his own manager!!!
