This franchise is a f***ing clown show. I still can't believe we fired this guy in order to replace him with one of Gibbons' butt-buddies (who, by the way, sucked at the same job in Kansas City and Arizona). Firstly, why is the FO bending over for the manager of a last-place team? Secondly, why is the FO bending over for the manager who got fired by the same franchise a few years ago? Thirdly, why did the FO bring back a previously-fired manager to begin with?
Considering that an actually smart organization like the Rays seems to value Mottola more than the Jays did, we would have been better off keeping Mottola and hiring a new manager if necessary than still having Gibbons here but with a worse hitting coach.
