Where the Jays have top farm system in baseball and are spending big this off season in free agency and on the trade market.
If he did what would the compensation be for Toronto? Both teams in same league this could be dangerous for Blue Jays as Farrell will know their players inside out by now. I imagine it be one of Bogaerts, Barnes or Bradley.
Not sure a trade like this has ever occurred before? I remember Randy Winn was traded for Lou Pinella one time. Who at the time was decent outfielder. With the way Boston has been clamouring over Farrell despite other top candidates available sounds like desperation on their part. For it is very unusual to push hard for manager under contract to another team?
