Only time will tell with the Jays
By Hugh
Nichol
If losing eight
of their final 10
games wasn’t
em-barrassing
enough, the
Toronto Blue
Jays administra
tive problems
may have only begun.
Their first order of business sur
rounds the playing status of two of
their marquee players in Alex
Gonzalez and Carlos Delgado.
Gonzalez is a free agent and re-sign
ing him will cost in the area of $6
million a year while Delgado’s con
tract contains a clause giving him the
right to request a trade within 15
days following the completion of the
World Series. Gonzalez almost cer
tainly will not negotiate until after
this year’s premium free agent,
Seattle short stop Alex Rodriguez,
sets the standard and Delgado will
almost certainly not waive his option
unless his exciting three year $34
million contact is rewrote.
Financially the Jays may not be
able to afford both players but mar
keting wise, can they afford not to?
The second major decision
involves how to improve the Jays
on-field performance. Defensively
only Baltimore, Kansas City and
Texas had a worse team ERA as this
season’s play ranged from laughable
to pathetic. The result was an atten
dance decrease of almost 350,000
from the previous year and with an
expected increase of $20 million in
payroll the Jays must find new ways
to attract the paying customer.
The third and final decision
involves the management team of
Gord Ash and manager Jim Fregosi.
Fregosi’s biggest problem is that he
is a National League manager in
charge of an American League team.
The Jays do not have the ability to
manufacture runs without depending
on the long ball. They seldom hit and
run and attempted to steal only 123
times. By comparison Florida
Marlin’s Luis Castillo made 84
attempts on his own while 42 year
old Rickey Henderson swiped 31
bases, nine more than the Jays leader
Raul Mondesi.
Fregosi was not without loyalty to
his players. He installed Jose Cruz in
centrefield, Tony Batista at third
base and Shannon Stewart in the
lead-off position on an every day
basis and all three responded with
career seasons as did several others.
However, a new broom sweeps clean
and the Rogers Communications own
erships will almost certainly look in
a different direction.
The Jays decline has been directly
linked to the 1995 sale of Labatt to
the Belgium-based Interbrew SA, a
faceless conglomerate whose only
interest in the club was financial. Ted
Rogers lives in Toronto and is an
identifiable owner who will, on a
daily basis, be in contact with the
baseball public. His vision is to cre
ate a sports empire with the ability to
compete against Time Warner
(Atlanta Braves), Fax TV (Los
Angeles Dodgers), and Disney
(Anaheim Angels), a vision that
hinges on the success of the Toronto
Blue Jays.
Only time will tell if the pursuit of
this dream will be good for the ball
club or whether Rogers becomes
Canada’s answer to George
Steinbrenner, another administrative
problem the Jays do not need.
