{allcanada} REPORTS: FARRELL TO MANAGE RED SOX IN 2013

The John Farrell era in Toronto appears to have come to an end.

According to multiple media reports, the Blue Jays manager will head to Boston to take the same role with the Red Sox for the 2013 season.

Farrell, who had one year left in his contract with the Blue Jays, served as pitching coach for the Red Sox from 2007 to 2010 before being hired to his first managerial job in Toronto for the 2011 season.

The compensation that the Jays will receive from the Red Sox to allow Farrell to leave is reportedly shortstop Mike Aviles, who played 130 games with the Red Sox in 2012, hitting .250 with 13 home runs.

WEEI.com is also reporting that Farrell has agreed to a contract with Boston that will see him manage the club through the 2015 season.
