The Toronto Blue Jays extended Charlie Montoyo’s contract on Friday, locking up the skipper through the 2023 season.
He helped the team to a 91-win campaign last year and finished fourth in American League manager of the year voting. The Blue Jays announced the extension a week before Opening Day.
In 2021, Montoyo guided the club through the challenges of playing in three different home locations as pandemic-related border restrictions forced the Blue Jays to start the season in Dunedin, Fla., before moving north to Buffalo. Montoyo, 57, spent three seasons as Tampa Bay’s third-base coach before becoming the Rays’ bench coach in 2018. He managed the triple-A Durham Bulls from 2007-14.
