Blue Jays fire assistant GM

October 27, 2005
TORONTO (AP) -- Tim McCleary was fired Thursday as assistant general manager of the Toronto Blue Jays, who finished 15 games out of first place in the American League East this season.
``This was a truly difficult decision to make as Tim is more than just a good baseball man, he's a good friend,'' general manger J.P. Ricciardi said. ``But we needed to make a change.''
McCleary's responsibilities included contract negotiations, budgeting and arbitration. Before coming to Toronto in 1995 he was an assistant GM with the New York Yankees.
