If Ricciardi goes, Gaston's job also not safe..



It's been an incredible roller coaster ride this far into the season for the Blue Jays, but after witnessing the Jays lose two heart breakers in extra innings the last two days to the Rays, you have to presume a major shakeup could soon be on the way.

Although Halladay certainly will be the biggest piece of the puzzle soon to leave this organization, don't be shocked if other packaged deals involving Scutaro, Wells and possible Alex Rios could also follow .

We should also not rule out, that the axe may fall on Ricciardi before the end of the year. This organization is no further now then they were when Ricciardi came in with his bag of promises, which until this point he has never delivered.

If Ricciardi is let go and a new general manager is brought in with a new plan, there's a distinctive possibility Cito Gaston might not be retained. Yes, Gaston won two championships for us in the early 90's, but the game of baseball has changed.

Baseball games are no longer just being won on home runs and base hits, speed and situational strategies are very much becoming a huge part of the game. Bringing in a younger and established manager with fresh ideas would be a good move for this organization in the immediate future..
