The Blue Jays have fired manager Charlie Montoyo, reports Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic. The decision comes barely three months after Montoyo signed a one-year extension that ran through the end of the 2023 season.

It’s rare to see a team that’s four games over .500 and in possession of a Wild Card spot oust its skipper, but Montoyo’s Jays are in the midst of a dreadful stretch that has seen them drop nine of their past 11 games. That includes a sweep at the hands of a red-hot Mariners club that used a series of four straight wins over Toronto to pull itself back to within a half game of the very Wild Card spot to which the recently floundering Blue Jays are clinging.
