Toronto Blue Jays manager John Gibbons hasn’t surfaced much, if at all, this offseason.
This isn’t abnormal for a manager, of course, but on Thursday evening, Gibbons joined Prime Time Sports on Sportsnet 590 The FAN to discuss the team’s winter to this point and where the team is headed in 2017.
Gibbons’ comments on the upcoming World Baseball Classic were particularly interesting, and likely echo those of many MLB managers whose teams are undergoing a significant level of change this offseason.
“The last one we had [2013 WBC], you think back, was the year we made the deals with Miami and signed Dickey,” Gibbons said.
