Amid a disappointing season, Ben Cherington says he is being evaluated by Red Sox ownership just as Bobby Valentine and the players are.
Cherington and owner John Henry joined the club in Seattle on Monday in a trip that was preplanned. Henry had breakfast Monday with Valentine then met individually with some players and staff as part of what he described as a "fact-finding" stop.
The Red Sox have lost the first seven games of a nine-game road trip.
"It's hard to watch," Cherington said. "It's a reflection on all of us when things aren't going well. I think we knew when we made the trade that we weren't helping our team in games the rest of this year. But, that said, it's still been hard to watch."
