Some surprising news out of Toronto today, as Shi Davidi of Sportsnet reports that the Blue Jays have dismissed vice president of business operations Stephen Brooks.
“Brooks joined Rogers Communications in 2004,” Davidi writes, “and became the Blue Jays’ vice president of finance before the 2009 season. He operated as the number two under former president and CEO Paul Beeston.”
He is also a member of the Board of Directors for the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.
Most Blue Jays fans will recognize Brooks from the world of Twitter, where under his handle @sbrooksbaseball, he was a very public face of the Blue Jays front office.
