Anthopolous should be leaving. He did nothing for how many years? He traded all their prospect players for basically rentals and the team got HOT for a few months. Field manager should go too. Jays lost because they got out managed.

In relation to the Jays? Nothing, as I said. In relation to why I posted it, it's because a very senior Air Canada executive is leaving to run the other sporting empire in Toronto.

Just to chime in: Blue Jays are not owned/operated by MLSE.

On topic: I assume that the the ACC and BMO field will now be enhanced to become high-density. 25,000 seats now in ACC, except for Platinums which will be rebranded as "preferred" seats?

This is on topic for this forum as long as the discussion focuses on his being an AC exec. but when it wanders off to other matters as I expected it will the thread will be relocated elsewhere.

So, will be miss this guy? Or should we happy that he is gone?

Best guess, who cares? He was dealing with stuff that most FFs don't touch anyway.

I confess I wish they would have hired Lise.
