The shroud of mystery surrounding the Toronto Blue Jays and general manager Alex Anthopoulos continues on. Speaking with Jeff Blair earlier today, outgoing team president Paul Beeston offered his full support of Anthopoulos, but was careful to frame it in a way that didn’t leak any plans.
“Is he irreplaceable? No. But is he someone you want to keep? Sure. Why wouldn’t you? It’s like wanting to keep any of your star players.”

That’s an odd way to frame things, isn’t it? And it won’t do much to quiet a fan base that is growing quietly nervous about their beloved general manager, now entering the final days of his contract with the organization.
