Why hasn't any Blue Jays beat writer or any canadian news outlet report this or even just mention the report? Even if it is a Sunday it seems weird...

 

Well in this case the information being leaked is about Duquette and Williams leaving their post and has gone so far as Williams contemplating resigning from his post with the White Sox. The Jays conversely rarely have any leaks for anything so this would seem consistent that things are up and that it is probably pretty advanced to the point of others possibly leaving.

Yeah you could be right. Davidi hinted at this a while back as well too. I really hope Ken Williams is not hired though. Everything about him baseball wise I hated and I feel like he is going to try and be inside the baseball discussions.

This came up on PTS a few months back. Macowan, said that Beeston always wanted to be head of the Leafs, and would leave the Jays in a minute if he was offered the job.

What's wrong with Kenny Williams? His teams were competitive and he did a good job grooming Rick Hahn to be his successor. Look around baseball at the other team presidents, it's not all guys like Theo and Friedman like some of you seem to think. It's a collection of well-rounded baseball people who are good at communicating with ownership and with the FO. Kenny seems to get along well with AA and knows his way around the game.

 

Because he was a terrible GM.

His payroll was also one of the highest. Just go read what White Sox fans have to say about him and you will understand how bad he is.

 

 

I think I'd rather go read what Jays fans think of replacing Navarro with Martin on TSN or SportsNet.

I want to know how Beeston became such a "god" in the eyes of so many sports guys.

 

Beeston knows absolutely nothing about sports, he had nothing to do with the building of the 92-93 teams.

 

Seriously wtf why is Beeston so worshipped?

Sources: The Blue Jays have also discussed White Sox executive vice president Ken Williams as a replacement for Paul Beeston.

 

Please no

Beeston is one ugly motherf***er. As long as I don't have to see that face anymore, I'll be satisfied.

 

What's with those shirtless black dudes in your avi?

Sources: Duquette wants to leave #Orioles, become #BlueJays’ prez/CEO. Some with club not opposed to his departure. Angelos standing in way.

Duquette signed with #Orioles through 2018. Prez/CEO would be step up to business position, similar to what Dombrowski has with #Tigers.

#Orioles could require compensation from #BlueJays, just as #RedSox required compensation when Epstein left for #Cubs.

Is Duquette a good gm? I haven't paid attention to the orioles, and everyone says they overachieved.

 

Better than Kenny Williams.

 

Why would they require compensation? The job would be a promotion from what he has currently, no?
