Blue Jays continue to add to front office with Murov hiring

Who said this was an off-season of inactivity for the Blue Jays?

Not in the front office, certainly.

The Jays hired Mike Murov for the newly created position of director, baseball operations on Sunday morning, their second Level 300 hire in five days.

Murov had worked with the Boston Red Sox since 2010 and takes over duties occupied by assistant general manager Jay Sartori, who left in September of 2013 to take a job with Apple.

President Mark Shapiro and general manager Ross Atkins hired Gil Kim, formerly a Texas Rangers international scout, as director of player development on Wednesday.
