Rays bench coach Charlie Montoyo has been selected as the next manager of the rival Toronto Blue Jays.
Montoyo is the second member of Kevin Cash’s staff to be named as manager for a major league team in 2019, and not much unlike Rocco Baldelli — who was introduced as the Twins Manger yesterday — Montoyo also served as a base coach on Kevin Cash’s inaugural staff before moving into the dugout for 2018.
When you mention Charlie Montoyo, the first word that comes to mind is “beloved.” It seems like anyone who has played with, for, or coached alongside Montoyo admires the man and considers him a friend.
