Blue Jays dismiss Fasano as part of ongoing changes

Minor-league pitching coordinator Sal Fasano became the fourth scouting and player development casualty of the past few days when he was dismissed by the Blue Jays on Monday.

Scouting director Brian Parker, national crosschecker Blake Davis and minor league-field coordinator Doug Davis had previously been shown the door as the new administrative team starts to build its own identity.

Fasano joined the Blue Jays system as manager of single-A Lansing in 2010 after a 16-year pro catching career that included 16 games with Toronto in 2007.

He was the double-A Eastern League’s manager of the year in 2011 and he later served as the system’s roving catching instructor before taking over as pitching co-ordinator before the 2015 season.
