TORONTO — Manager John Gibbons will not return to the Toronto Blue Jays in 2019, ending his second run with the club. The Blue Jays made the long-expected announcement on Wednesday, ahead of Toronto’s final home game of the season against the Houston Astros. But the Blue Jays missed the playoffs last year and played below expectations again this season. Gibbons guided the Blue Jays to a disappointing 74-88 record in 2013 but the Blue Jays improved to 83-79 the following year. Gibbons first joined the Blue Jays’ coaching staff in 2002 as a bullpen catcher.
