Just last Friday afternoon at a news conference, Farrell showed strength when he disclosed that he has Stage 1 lymphoma. His condition will keep him out of the dugout for the remainder of the season. However, doctors have informed Farrell that his illness is "highly curable."
"It's localized; it's highly curable," Farrell said. "I'm extremely fortunate to be with not only people in the Red Sox, but access to [Massachusetts General Hospital] and all the world-class talent that can handle this over at MGH. It's been a surreal four or five days."
Farell's revelation sent shockwaves through the Major League Baseball. A lot of teams, players and media members offered their encouragement through social media.
Here are some:
