Angry Jays turn on manager Gaston: Reports

Players speak off the record against manager Cito Gatson


The Toronto Blue Jays are about to end a disappointing season on a very sour note. Players are fed up with Cito Gaston and ready to make it known they do not want the manager to return next season, according to two published reports this morning.

“It’s nearly a mutiny right now,” one source said in a report published at Foxsports.com. “He has lost the entire team.”

According to a story by The Canadian Press, players have spoken about the situation over the past few weeks, but only if their names were not used. CP reports some players wanted to speak to senior team officials first – and to avoid the news leaking while the team was playing home.

The Blue Jays begin their final series of the season tonight in Baltimore.

One player told CP there was simply “constant negativity” coming from the manager’s office. Another noted that Gaston once said “there aren’t any good players in here.”

Gaston’s in-game decision making has also been a target of criticism this season, as it was during first tenure as Jays manager from 1989-97.

One player was asked by CP how many others felt the same way, he replied: “Just about everyone.”
