Manager John Farrell hired by/traded to Boston
 Mike Aviles will be the return for Toronto and they may unload a bad contract like Adam Lind on Boston as well.

Re: Manager John Farrell hired by/traded to Boston
Why is this guy such a hot commodity? I am not trying to be glib. I just don't know why I keep hearing his name. It is not like the Jays have been especially successful recently. Is there a backstory?

I'm not saying it's a good decision or bad decision, but that's the reason.
