John Edward Farrell (born August 4, 1962) is a former Major League Baseball pitcher and the current manager of the Boston Red Sox. Farrell served as the Red Sox pitching coach from 2007 to 2010, before leaving to be manager of the Toronto Blue Jays from 2011 to 2012. He returned to the Red Sox in 2013 and led them to a World Series title that year. During his playing career, Farrell was a member of the Cleveland Indians, California Angels and Detroit Tigers.
Farrell was diagnosed with stage 1 lymphoma (cancer of the lymph system) in August 2015 and left the team to undergo treatment, with bench coach Torey Lovullo assuming his duties for the remainder of the 2015 season. On October 22, 2015, the Red Sox announced that Farrell's cancer was in remission.
Farrell grew up in Monmouth Beach, New Jersey. His father, Tom, pitched in the Cleveland Indians farm system in the 1950s until an injury ended his baseball career. John Farrell was a star pitcher for Shore Regional High School and Oklahoma State, where he had a 20–6 record one season.
Upon graduating from high school in 1980, Farrell was drafted by the Oakland Athletics, but he did not sign. Four years later, after graduating from college, he was drafted by the Cleveland Indians in the second round of the 1984 Draft. He made his major league debut with the Indians on August 18, 1987, playing for them until the 1990 season.
