Mike Aviles was in upstate New York on Friday, visiting his family and celebrating the birthday of one of his daughters when he got an unexpected telephone call.
It was one of his agents saying that the Red Sox were about to trade him to Toronto as compensation for manager John Farrell.

Best Wishes gpoing forward to Mike Aviles. He plays the game the way it should be played---with emotion, with intensity, and giving it the respect it deserves. Mike Aviles is a credit to the game of baseball unlike many of his contemporaries. Give me a Mike Aviles at every position and I will win a lot of pennants and championships. Good Luck, MIke!
Class guy. Could have shot his way out of Boston which has become the norm but chose not to. Agree with John from Hull, a team full of Mike Aviles and it will be a successful team. Best wishes Mike, thank-you for being a class act.
