Red Sox and Jays agree on a deal sending him to the Sox.....

[RaysFan_98]

Yeah I also dont understand why everybody made a big deal about getting him. He didnt do much with the Jays his 2 years there. People are saying its because the players know and respect him, but geez, he hasnt been there since 2010. Quite a different ballclub than it was then.

Not to mention the Sox are in shambles compared to a young team that has the talent and is up and coming.

What did farrell do to be in such high demand? Do not get this move

Jays got totally screwed.

Sure did. Can't understand why they accepted that deal. Seems to me they could have gotten a better one.

What team is that?

Independent team in Georgia a few years ago. Backman now manages the Mets AAA team.

I hope the Blue Jays hire someone Wally Backman.

Who's replacing Farrell as Blue Jays manager?

how about vizquel?

I read that the Jays will also have to give the Sox a player, too. That seems absurd to me.

well, it was this player:

I didn't really think the Jays would ship there manager away to a divisional opponent. Well they got there man wonder if it will make a difference.
