When the Toronto Blue Jays extended manager Charlie Montoyo’s contract through the end of 2023 in April, this is not the result they anticipated.
Amid a dreadful stretch where the club had won just two of its last 11 contests and whispers about clubhouse dynamics have swirled, the Blue Jays opted for a drastic change, announcing Wednesday they had fired Montoyo and replaced him with bench coach John Schneider.
“When this team is winning, he is going to have been a huge part of that,” Atkins said of Montoyo. “And I will ensure that he knows that.” “The game goes on,” Thompson, the Phillies former bench coach, said Tuesday. “Sometimes another voice, not even changing, just a different voice. Just maybe a tap on the shoulder to all the players, saying ‘We’ve got to get it going.’ Sometimes that helps.”
“My style probably won't change that much from a tactical standpoint,” Schneider said. “I like being aggressive. I like having fun. I always think that when the guys are comfortable, that's the best version of the player you're gonna get.”
