have extended the contract of Charlie Montoyo, giving their manager another year through the 2023 season with a pair of options beyond that, according to two industry sources.
Completed in recent weeks, the agreement provides another layer of security for the 56-year-old, who is heading into his fourth season with the club. Montoyo originally signed a three-year deal that included an option for 2022 that was exercised last spring. Over his three seasons thus far, he’s compiled a 190-194 record in spite of being charged with overseeing a 95-loss teardown season in 2019.
During the shortened 60-game pandemic season in 2020, he led a young group forced into refuge at triple-A Buffalo’s Sahlen Field to a 32-28 finish and a berth in the expanded playoffs. Last year, when the Blue Jays played home games in Dunedin, Fla., Buffalo and Toronto, they were 91-71 and fell one game short of the post-season in a four-90-win-teams American League East., and avoid posting profanity, personal attacks or harassment.
