When John Gibbons appeared on MLB Network Radio in mid-August, many Blue Jays fans were treated to the usual casual speech of their laid-back skipper. For fans of other clubs though, that interview, candid and honest, represented something never before heard by an incumbent big league manager.
In that interview, Gibbons spoke about his job security, the youngsters on his roster and the state of the franchise going forward. While speaking with hosts, Gibby said that he’s “not so sure [he] want[s] to go through a total rebuild”. Apparently, that remark didn’t sit so well with the front office.
