HBT: Jays won't let Red Sox interview Farrell

There?s been some speculation that the Red Sox may be interested in hiring former pitching coach and current Blue Jays manager John Farrell to replace Terry Francona.

Because of that the Blue Jays have changed their policy about granting teams permission to speak to their employees and team president Paul Beeston released this statement:

Due to the distraction caused by media speculation regarding our employee permission policy, the Toronto Blue Jays have amended their policy and will not grant permission for lateral moves.

In other words, Farrell wouldn?t be allowed to interview for the Red Sox?s manager gig as long as he?s under contract as the Blue Jays? manager.
