Blue Jays president Paul Beeston and general manager Alex Anthopolous issued a joint statement Tuesday declaring the Jays have altered its policy regarding employees moving to another organization if it is considered a lateral move. The change would seem to be in response to the rumors regarding Toronto manager John Farrell potentially talking to the Red Sox about their vacant managerial opening.
"The Toronto Blue Jays have amended their policy and will not grant permission for lateral moves," the statement read (WEEI).
This is a complete 180 from what he had heard in the past. They would allow anyone to leave if they wanted to without any compensation. I am sure if the Sox gave up enough they could still get Ferrell, but I don't see it happening anymore.
Ben Cherington is being introduced today, so I wouldn't expect any kind of update on the compensation for Theo, or the search for a new manager until after that.
