Sox Skipper John Farrell In Bangor Today

Fresh off an AL East Division title and a MLB Winter Meeting to remember, Red Sox manager John Farrell is coming to Bangor tonight.

Farrell will appear at the Gracie Theatre at Husson University for a meet and greet, plus a hot stove baseball question and answer session.

With the retirement of David Ortiz, the big trade for pitcher Chris Sale and all of the other topics surrounding the Sox, it should be quite an event.

The Farrell appearance, a sitting Red Sox manager, is a first for Bangor area sports fans.

Today's date is 28 days before Farrell welcomes pitchers and catchers to spring training in Fort Myers, Florida.
