Boston Manager? Not quite.

I noticed that there is already a minor edit war going on. I'm creating this to say, obviously he's not officially the Manager of the Red Sox until a press release comes out. I would say no earlier then Monday if they don't release it Sunday. Until then, if someone with more clout could request a temp lock on the page for a few hours. It might not be needed but better to be safe then sorry I say. --Boston Burkenation (talk) 04:15, 21 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

I've semi-protected the page for a week, but if it looks like it's no longer necessary, just leave me a message on my talk page and I'll lift the protection. — Mr. Stradivarius ^{(have a chat)} 05:09, 21 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

From MLB.com:

"MLB.com has confirmed that the Red Sox have reached a multiyear agreement with Farrell, and an official announcement is imminent."

Do NOT change to the Red Sox until the team actually makes the official announcement and press conference.Richiekim (talk) 16:07, 21 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for protecting it and to Rich for keeping up with the reverts. --Boston Burkenation (talk) 16:29, 21 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

Yeah, thanks Mr. S...refreshing and reverting was getting really old, really fast. :) Go Phightins! 20:12, 21 October 2012 (UTC)Reply
