On Thursday morning, the Minnesota Twins named Rocco Baldelli 14th skipper in the history of the franchise. Baldelli was coming through the coaching staff of the Tampa Bay Rays. It turns out that Baldelli is not the only Rays coach to hold a leadership position: Banco coach Charlie Montoyo has been dubbed the new manager of the Toronto Blue Jays:
Montoyo, 53, had a brief career in the majors and appeared in five games for the 1993 Expos in Montreal. It has since become a staple for Rays on the development side of the player. He spent seven seasons as manager of the Durham Bulls, their Triple-A affiliate. Last season was Montoyo's first year as a bench coach, although he already coached the third goal.
Montoyo is the 14th manager of the history of the Blue Jays. He is the first hired by General Manager Ross Atkins.
Previously, the Blue Jays had fired John Gibbons who, in 11 seasons in total, recorded a record of 793-789.
