Toronto looking for New President to be Duquette.

[Guest]

Well there are John and Louis Angelos. Over the team. dan is just baseball ops here. There he would be essentially the CEO for a corporate entity.

Yup he can do what he wants with Blue Jays. No owner saying no to him.

[weams]

No, it's not. The Blue Jays job runs the whole business, not just the baseball side.

Right. The whole thing.

[canonfaz]

I hope he puts a screeching halt to this rumor soon.

[SteveO]

What has he been unable to do?

If I were guessing it would have to do with determine how long he feels a guy should be signed for among other things. If he felt constrained that would be one area that I guess might be on his list. He may also be tired of slapping hustling his butt off to find bandaids when he knows that the team as the resources to do better.

Lets face it, if you were DD what would you rather do, work for an ownership group that will let you go out and get those couple of nice toys you want despite the fact they are expensive or work for an owner whom you have to shake voraciously for whatever change falls out his pockets?

I hope it is averted. It would be a big promotion. Essentially an ownership stake.

I don't see Angelos matching that.

Well a board of directors is a boss and not one you can talk, with trust me.

Bingo!

This is awful news. Hopefully he can be convinced to stay. Although Duquette doesnot have free reign. Isn't Buck's input "required" for many of the decisions he makes regarding the mlb roster.

I actually believe the bigger impediment is having to continuously sell Pete on every expenditure of any significance and Pete's unrealistic expectation that each and every one of those expenditures pay off.

Still no.

He will still have purse strings, purse strings that if recent history is any indication, very greatly from season to season.

He will still have to answer to the BOD of the parent corporation.

Some good news.

[SteveO]

That would put us in limbo. Thanks. Do you think he'd do something to hurt the O's and help the Jays with the chance that he might become the enemy? I don't.

No I don't either but that said I do believe if Dan walks, whomever succeeds him deserves the chance to do it their way

YEA!

Makes me feel a little better

[Rene88]

If all was great in O's land, my thoughts would be why would this even pop up. Out of LF here, wow.

LaCava is still there, right?

Yes, but doubt Angelos blocks a promotion.

Move would be a promotion. Nope.

Actually, yes it would. Promotion or not a contract is a contract. See Epstein, Theo.
