Blue Jays GM stepping down....does the interest in Duquette heat back up?

[Roll Tide]

I almost couldn't believe this. Will they again try to lure Duquette?

They filled the job they wanted Dan for.

If you believe the rumors ...he would've been the guy making the personnel decisions either way IMO.

If you are Shapiro is there a chance in the world you would install someone like Dan directly below you?

I actually have the exact opposite thought. I wouldn't mind canning Duquette to bring in Anthopoulos as the next GM.

[Dr. Unk]

My viewpoint is a lot different, than a year ago.....

[El Gordo]

I doubt the BJ's GM job pays more than DD's current job.

According to reports out of Canada, one of the reasons Anthopoulos feels that the Blue Jays are no longer a good fit for him is that new president Shapiro has expressed strong disagreement with him giving up prospects in deadline deals. Sound familiar?

Didn't he gut Toronto's farm system?

Could that be the true reason he left? Maybe he feels a collapse coming after the free agents are gone and there is nothing on the farm to replace them. Perhaps he doesn't want to get blamed for that downfall.

DD has zero change of going to Toronto.

He is under contract and will be here until his contract ends.

That depends. He can take a promotion inside and outside of MLB. Would Ol'Petey really deny him that opportunity?

Considering this is not a promotion, DD is the GM of the Orioles, its a lateral move.

Maybe someone like Mike Rizzo though. Right;)

No he can't. Settled law.
