Gibbons comfortable amid club's transitions

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- It has been an offseason of transition for the Blue Jays' front office. Despite the turnover, manager John Gibbons insists he's not concerned about his long-term job security.

Toronto recently hired former Cleveland executive Ross Atkins to become its new general manager. Whenever a new boss is put in charge there's a risk that he'll want to hire his own people and that led to some speculation that Gibbons might be in trouble, but that hasn't been the case.

Atkins and team president Mark Shapiro have expressed praise for the job Gibbons did during an American League East Championship season and emphatically stated that he would return for 2016.
