Thursday, October 5 Ash: No changes pending Associated Press |

TORONTO -- Toronto Blue Jays president Gord Ash on Thursday denied a report that Jim Fregosi would be let go as manager and that Dave Stewart will be appointed the team's general manager. Asked if there was any truth to a Canadian internet sports site's report, Ash told The Canadian Press, "No. I don't know how much clearer no can be, but no." The Blue Jays are caught in a parallel ownership situation, as Rogers Communications awaits approval for its purchase of the club from Interbrew. The sale is expected to be closed in the next 30 days, and Ash said Rogers is free to make front office changes in the interim. When he bought the club, Ted Rogers said Paul Godfrey would be president and CEO, meaning Ash might be bumped to a different role with the club. |
