Candidates, you are about to enter the vastness (and for some, void) of the Toronto Blue Jays Baseball Club, as you interview for the open manager spot left vacant by the departure of John Gibbons.
Fans and media have criticised the management of this club since 1977. We started with Roy Hartsfield, moved to the Bobby Cox, Jimmy Williams and Cito Gaston 1.0 eras, through Jim Fregosi and Buck Martinez, past the Carlos Tosca and Gibby 1.0 era, and into John Farrell and Cito Gaston’s second go-around. Most recently, we passed the second Gibby era, and the intricacies of managing this team continue to be misunderstood, except for those inside the inner circle.
