Charlie Montoyo

He becomes the third manager to be dismissed this season alone, as both Joe Girardi (Phillies) and Joe Maddon (Angels) were fired earlier in the year. At least in terms of win-loss record, Montoyo will go down as one of the more successful managers fired in recent memory. That includes a sweep at the hands of a red-hot Mariners club that used a series of four straight wins over Toronto to pull itself back to within a half game of the very Wild Card spot to which the recently floundering Blue Jays are clinging. Even with those solid rate stats, Toronto sits just 11th in total runs scored (401), and their offense has not been the juggernaut unit that most expected. Montoyo has been “relieved of his duties as manager” (i.e. fired) in favor of bench coach John Schneider, who’ll assume the position on an interim basis through the end of the 2022 season. It’s rare to see a team that’s four games over .500 and in possession of a Wild Card spot oust its skipper, but Montoyo’s Jays are in the midst of a dreadful stretch that has seen them drop nine of their past 11 games.

TORONTO (AP) — The Toronto Blue Jays fired manager Charlie Montoyo on Wednesday and promoted bench coach John Schneider to interim manager for the remainder ...

Montoyo oversaw a tumultuous period in Blue Jays history, with the team playing home games in three cities last season, including two minor league parks, because of border restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Before joining the Blue Jays, Montoyo spent six seasons on Tampa Bay’s major league coaching staff, including his final three as bench coach. “Us as players know things could be better, things have to be better,” Blue Jays outfielder George Springer said. Toronto went 91-71 in 2021 and missed tying for the AL wild card by one game. Hopefully, who he is as a person will kind of ooze onto us as players and allow us to relax a little bit, have a little bit more fun and kind of enjoy the day.” General manager Ross Atkins made the move even with the Blue Jays at 46-42 this season. “He likes to have fun. That Double-A team featured current Blue Jays stars Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Bo Bichette and Jordan Romano, among others. I think we’re better than how we’ve played.” Triple-A manager Casey Candaele was named interim bench coach.

A trendy preseason World Series pick, Toronto is barely hanging onto a wild-card spot.

Firing Montoyo may give the Blue Jays a shot in the arm and change the clubhouse culture, but ultimately, their play won't improve until the guys on the mound perform. Montoyo guided the club through difficult 2020 and 2021 seasons that saw the Blue Jays play home games in Buffalo and at their spring training park in Florida before returning to Toronto last July. He gradually climbed the minor-league ladder and joined Toronto's major league coaching staff in 201o9. The Phillies fired Joe Girardi in early June and the Angels fired Joe Maddon less than a week later. They are only a half-game up on the third wild-card spot. "... This is a collective setback, and ultimately this starts with me."

Schneider has 74 games remaining in the regular season to see if he can push the Blue Jays to do better. Schneider, 42, spent six seasons as a catcher in the Blue Jays minor-league system. The Mariners pulled even with Toronto after a four-game sweep of the Blue Jays in Seattle last weekend. In April, Montoyo was awarded a contract extension through the 2023 season. Montoyo and others from the Blue Jays organization attended her funeral on Monday. I see a lot of individual things that are positive and some individual areas where we can improve."
