Toronto looking for New President to be Duquette.

[BradyBunch]

If that's true, he has to speak out and say so himself. Tell everyone you're not leaving Duquette.

LOL, you never want personal or player to say they want to stay or would like to stay.. they are always gone the next season. See Markakis and Cruz as examples this year.

Better for him to keep his mouth shut on this one.

[mdbdotcom]

Sounds like he isn't going anywhere. Only question is if this causes friction in Orioles Front Office? I can't imagine DD not being professional about this, he acts like a respectable man. I am sure any of us would be intrigued by a higher and better paying job in our profession.

Exactly, and DD's best chance for getting that opportunity will be do a great job with the O's for four more years.

Dan Duquette has always wanted a team president job. He was out of baseball for a long time, but held out for a GM job at minimum. This is a big guy.

Why wouldn't TOR ask permission before going any further? It's strange behavior.

Maybe they are floating names and seeing if anyone bites? There has to be some incentive in doing so, Kenny Williams also mentioned.

If there is any chance it causes Pete to now distrust DD we would be off if he went to be honest. Last thing we need is Pete feeling the need to be more involved because he is questioning the loyalty of his right hand man so to speak.

Realistically that may not be true.

If the job is here now and he is wanted then the opportunity is here and now. He could do a good job for the next 10 years but these type of opportunities do not pop up all that often. The last guy to hold the Jay President title held it since 1976 ....its a different ball of wax

How this impacts things is definately important. Will people's behavior change? A lot of egos in any big business.

Yes, but who will he be with when he leaves?

All the leaks have come from the Toronto side. I am certain that Dan might like this opportunity. Dan: "Let me tell you how proud I am for being with you here for the fourth year in a row. I am here to represent the Orioles. I really don't have anything else that I want to add at this point."

" That's good to hear [regarding Angelos quotes] I do have a contract, I have always honored my contracts."

Duquette on XM now.

Duquette:

"I do have a contract, and I have always honored my contract."

"Glad to hear" the Angelos quotes.

[Malike]

I appreciate the interest, but I don't have anything else to add.
