Toronto looking for New President to be Duquette.

[Frobby]

Carfado works for the Boston Globe. The press in Boston ran Dan out of town.

Carfardo has been very complimentary of Duquette as the Orioles' GM. E.g., http://www.bostonglobe.com/sports/2014/09/06/sunball/pdB2SYj7Uw82XMlhiJEswM/story.html

Beyond that, I wouldn't say the press ran Dan Duquette out of town. John Henry bought the team and had his own ideas about who should run the baseball operations. I don't think the press had much to do with it.

Otherwise, I am done worrying about what will happen with DD and the Jays.

Pompey too.

And Pompey. If we lose DD, I don't want the Mike Aviles type compensation that the Jays got for John Farrell.

Upon further review, I agree with this post.

It's all about timing...I can't hate on the guy if he wants a promotion but right before the winter meetings was awful timing. I'm hoping he stays though, I'm interested in seeing what he can do with real flexibility and next off-season moves will be happening.

It's mid January, if DD would stop thinking of Toronto we could become a better club.Because this club won't do it.

Kenny. What a man.

Weams he's as good as gone at this point hope we get something good.

I hate to agree here but yep :agree:

[canonfaz]

Balls.

I just want this crap to be over. This has to be a distraction for everyone involved. I wouldn't give Dan away though, but I seriously doubt we get much of any value.

You do understand that Dan and the Blue Jays have not talked. Right?

[Aglets]

I believe that Rosenthal may be telling the truth that some such conversations have taken place, and maybe it's possible some O's front office people don't like Dan.

I also believe Peter Angelos when he said that Dan is not going anywhere.

To me the 2nd one is really all that matters.
