John Farrell has finally left Toronto for Boston

John Farrell has finally made it official that he is moving back to Boston to manage the Red Soxs and now he can actually be with his family as he had decided to leave his wife and kids in Cleveland while he managed the Blue Jays in Toronto. So now as the newest bench boss of the soxs he can move his family to Boston after the school year is over and they can be one happy family again. It feels like if Farrell knew that Terry Francona was going to lose everything right after Farrell left Boston where he been the Soxs pitching coach at the time he would of never left to become the Jays manager at the end of the 2010 season. So Francona began having problems at home in the 2011 season and took his eye of his job and the players took complete advantage of the situation and fell apart with a 7 and 20 September and went from a sure bet playoff team to losing out on the last day of the regular season. Farrell name was linked to the vacated manager's job in Boston by Boston media with no help from the Soxs organization when Francona was fired as beer and chicken wings ruled the Soxs clubhouse late in the 2011. So after a year speculation about when not if Farrell was taken the job it has finally happened and with Bobby Valentine going into Boston and making a complete mess of things Farrell can now come in on his white horse and clean slate and take over and team that will first go head to head with the Yanks in the off season in the trade/free agent market with open checkbooks to build a completely new team for Farrell to work with. This situation looks to have hit its boiling point when when Alex Anthopoulos, the Jays GM was scheduled to join Jeff Blair a talk radio show host in Toronto on Sportsnet radio 590, the fan Friday which had been booked in advance and then the show was phoned Thursday and told it would not be happening. Blair with his connections to the Jays as a baseball writer as well tried to find out what happened and was told it simply was not able to happen even though no trades could be made at this time. So now the Jays on the other hand have been counting their money waiting for the free agent market to open up some they could be out to the store and buy something they really wanted and more importantly start talking seriously to other GMs about their roster players for trade. Now the top two spending teams in the American League are going to the same stores and talk about the same roster players the Jays want but have open checkbooks and really do not care how much they spend unlike the Jays. In the end Farrell is happy, the Jays are looking for a new manager even though they have their eyes probably on certain guys already, and the Soxs and Yanks may of just ruined the Jays holiday season.
