In baseball, GM = coach (Blue Jays equivalent to Casey is Gibbons). Confusing because in basketball, GM = exec (or President of Operations). They offered an extension to AA, their President of Baseball Operations (the basketball equivalent is GM (Masai)). He turned down the extension. It's nothing like offering Casey an extension because he's the coach. Nobody cares because they tried to bring him back on a 5 year deal and he said no, so they tried their best. If you really think no one would make a peep if Casey had been fired after our record setting season and end of the super long playoff drought then we're just going to have to agree to disagree there. Masai would have been lambasted in the media unless we brought in a Pop level replacement.
Good news though, it won't cost us anything extra to fire Casey right now and promote one of the assistants. The roadblocks to removing Casey are gone, it's just a matter of time (and losses unfortunately).
