TORONTO (AP) -Cito Gaston will return as manager of the Toronto Blue Jays next year.
“Cito’s definitely going to be back,” general manager J.P. Ricciardi said Thursday. “He’s done a good job. We’re six games over .500 since he took over. We’ve got a long way to go offensively, but he’s really laid the groundwork for some of the right stuff offensively. The guys like playing for him.”
The Blue Jays fired manager John Gibbons on June 20 and gave Gaston the job for the rest of this season. When they made the move, Ricciardi said he would sit down with Gaston after the season to discuss his status for 2009.
