CLEVELAND, Ohio – Ross Atkins, vice president of player personnel for the Indians, is a finalist for Toronto's general manager's job. The other finalist is Tony LaCava, who was named Toronto's interim GM by new CEO Mark Shapiro in November.
John Heyman of CBSSports.com reported Sunday that the field was narrowed to Atkins and LaCava. A decision could be reached before the start of the winter meetings Monday in Nashville, Tenn.
Atkins has been mentioned as a candidate for the job since the resignation of GM Alex Anthopoulos in late October and Shapiro's arrival in Toronto on Nov.
