Sources: #BlueJays’ five-year offer to Anthopoulos gave him right to opt out after one year if relationship with Shapiro was not working.
Why wouldn't he at least give it a shot for a year and see if they could make it work? There must have been some instant bad blood developed in that first meeting.
That or, as Keith Law suggested, they plan on a significant tear-down of the roster that he didn't want to be a part of.

Just a hunch, but I bet Ross Atkins, Indians director of player personnel, gets consideration for Toronto's vacant GM spot.
Just a reminder to those who signed up for this and don't want it auto renewed
Go to mlb.com, log-in, go to audio/video subscriptions and cancel auto-renewal subscription

We're a f***ing team that works the count and isn't afraid of walks. To get punished for that all of a sudden in the club's most important inning in recent history is egregious.
It was like the ump was punishing us for not trying to swing and drive in Pompey
we're a patient team. All of a sudden getting strikes called against us 5 inches off the plate sucks, when they weren't called all game. Still should have found a way to put the ball in play somewhere.
