The Window just shut

The window on the Blue Jays just shut with the report that the Red Sox have added The Panda, and also Hanley Ramirez.   We thought the Sox would re tool after dealing John Lester. and they have.

I can only imagine what those Bronx Bombers are thinking today.  The Red Sox are reported to have snageed 2 large prize additions.  Hanley will play short or perhaps the outfield while The Panda will patrol 3rd base. At least for a year until David Ortiz retires, then The Panda will replace Big Papi at DH. 

And then they will get started at re tooling the rotation. And then let's wait for Steinbrenners kids to start screaming at Brian Cashman, and then those Yanks will start up. Depending on whether they have sent Arod and his contract to the curb. They will need the money, but frankly when has spending money been a problem for New York.

Don't forget about the Birds, they have re sign Nelson Cruz, or get a suitable replacement.  Anyway you slice it, with the Red Sox getting a jump on Black Friday, and Xmas shopping, let's agree that adding Russell Martin was a nice Canadian come home story, and move on.

Let's enjoy the fact we were in first for a stage, and be nostalgic.  The window folks, has just shut on 2015.
