News just broke that the Toronto Blue Jays former player and now assistant hitting coach Matt Hague has decided to leave the organization as he will be joining the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Hague played for the Blue Jays back in 2015 despite spending most of his time in the minors and in 2020 decide to return to the organization as a minor league hitting coach.
Hague spent the last few season slowly moving up through the ranks going from Advanced-A ball in Dunedin to the major leagues in which he was promoted last January as the Blue Jays assistant hitting coach.

This is unfortunate news since Hague was reportedly well liked in the clubhouse by the players who will be sad to see him go.
This does not come as that big of a surprise since the Blue Jays decided to hire from the outside for their new hitting coach when they brought in David Popkins to replace Guillermo Martinez.
Since Hague saw that he would not be getting the promotion to hitting coach for the Blue Jays anytime soon, he was forced to go look elsewhere.
Oh that's not good
This is not good news for the Blue Jays who already have a ton of positions to fill this off-season and now will have one more.
Hopefully they knew ahead of time that Hague was leaving and were not blindsided by the decision.
