PITTSBURGH -- The Blue Jays entered this season with lofty aspirations that have quickly become seemingly unattainable as the club has limped through the first three months. The unanticipated struggles have now cost manager John Gibbons his job.
On Friday, the Blue Jays relieved Gibbons of his duties as Toronto's manager and appointed Cito Gaston -- the orchestrator of the club's World Series titles in 1992-93 -- as the first two-time manager in team history. The Jays also made sweeping changes to their coaching staff.
In light of the Jays' poor offensive production this season, hitting coach Gary Denbo, who was in his first tour with Toronto, was dismissed. So were third-base coach Marty Pevey and first-base coach Ernie Whitt.
