Blue Jays seem to have interest in former AL manager of the year

Schumaker managed in South Beach for two seasons, his first season representing a solid success by Miami standards that earned him NL Manager of the Year honors. This past season represented a shipwreck from the very beginning, a club that started 0-9 and traded away its best offensive player on May 4th. Unfortunately, a lot of that was preordained because the club did next to nothing to improve in the winter and made some sketchy leadership decisions in the front office. Schumaker naturally wanted no part of a rebuild and it was leaked earlier this year that he had asked the Marlins to have his contract option for 2025 removed. -Gueren

You might ask why he would settle for a job in Toronto when he can be a manager somewhere else. But have you seen some of these openings? Would he really want to take the reins of a dysfunctional White Sox squad or a small-market Reds team that may exhibit some of the same problems he had in Florida? -Gueren
