TORONTO – Soon after the Toronto Blue Jays hired Charlie Montoyo, he began reaching out to as many players as possible. As the team’s new manager, he wanted to build connections before the daily grind of the season began.
On Saturday, Montoyo met many of those players in person for the first time at Winter Fest, a fan event held at Rogers Centre this weekend. Some, like Justin Smoak and Kevin Pillar, Montoyo already knew from his days coaching with the Tampa Bay Rays, but in other cases he was grateful for the jerseys players wore.
