With the minor league season winding to a close — the Blue Jays affiliates wrap their regular schedules by September 5th — the organization continues to make significant personnel changes in the player development area.
On Monday evening, Shi Davidi reported that the Blue Jays had fired minor league pitching co-ordinator Sal Fasano. The former catcher has occupied that role for two seasons now, and was named the Eastern League’s manager of the year in 2011 with the New Hampshire Fisher Cats. Some consider Fasano to have further managing potential in his future, too.
