Toronto Blue Jays manager Cito Gaston supports the idea of the team hiring Colorado Rockies hitting coach Don Baylor as his successor next season, according to The Associated Press. "He does bring a present when he walks in a room. Not a birthday present, but a presence," Gaston quipped before the Blue Jays began the final series of the season against the Twins. "I think it'd be good for him. Whether he gets it or not, I'm happy to hear they're going to consider him and take a look at him." Gaston also recommended Juan Samuel for an interview.

MLB.com's Jordan Bastian reports Toronto Blue Jays manager Cito Gaston has named RP Kevin Gregg the primary closer. RP Jason Frasor will move back to a setup role.
Fantasy Tip: Grab Gregg on the wire immediately if he is available. Gregg has looked impressive in the early going and figures to hang on to the job as long as he is effective. Frasor owners should be concerned, especially with his drop in velocity, but should still hang onto him on their bench if possible. He could return to the closer's role if Gregg struggles, but don't bank on it. Scott Downs could also serve as the setup man if Frasor continues to struggle.
