TheIn subtle ways, the Pirates’ search has already impacted the. Depending on how it ends, those repercussions could be felt more intensely within the coming weeks.

But Cherington was nowhere to be seen as his peers arrived at the Omni Scottsdale Resort & Spa, since the Blue Jays traveled to the meetings without their VP of baseball operations. When asked specifically about Cherington Monday evening, Blue Jays GM Ross Atkins declined to comment on his whereabouts and whether he’s interviewing "out of respect for the Pirates, and out of respect for Ben.

"Complete transparency, even with lateral moves, and we’ve had a lot of them," he said. "We’ve had a lot of employees that have chosen to stay with us in the last few years promotions. So we’re extremely transparent and work with the individual on potentially increasing fulfillment here. If there’s any way to do that while balancing what’s best for them and their careers and their families and try to help them make the best decisions.

Cherington has worked as a major-league executive for 21 seasons, most notably as GM of the Red Sox. The 45-year-old built the 2013 team that won the World Series and developed much of the Boston core that would later win it all in 2018. He joined the Blue Jays in September of 2016 a little more than a year after parting ways with the Red Sox.

bnicholsonsmith He's not leaving the Jays, he's been offered other positions and never left.

bnicholsonsmith Hi I'm Ben Charington from Ben Charington's wacky wavy inflatable arm flailing tube man emporium and I am passing the savings on to youuuuuuuu

bnicholsonsmith sportsnet needs a CEO and president that doesn't hate Canadians and our culture. You all should be ashamed of yourselves. But that takes insight, which you've shown you don't have. You suck.

Toronto Blue Jays could be open to moving Lourdes Gurriel Jr. - TSN.caThe Toronto Blue Jays could be open to moving outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. this winter according to TSN Blue Jays reporter Scott Mitchell. Why SHATKINS it makes sense if he isn't good at 2B No way is he playing SS with Bo and i doubt he could play 3B or 1B. Maybe DH him but you could get someone else to fill that role for similar results. Better to get value for him then to just have him sit on his ass

They don’t grow on trees. 🙄 bnicholsonsmith If it's a bunch of 4th, 5th starters - I'm just not that interested. I'd prefer to lose again this year and build another great pick while the kids keep growing and learning. Our year is 2021. Not 2020. bnicholsonsmith They could use a good starting lefty in my opinion.
