Joey's Take: The Toronto Blue Jays giving John Gibbons a contract extension was a very solid move. He's a fiesty manager and a very good one. A solid 2nd place finish in the AL East last year, they have locked up Gibbons for only a year. A longer extension may and probally will follow, if they again have a solid year this upcoming season.
DUNEDIN, Fla. -- The Blue Jays have reached a preliminary agreement on a one-year contract extension with manager John Gibbons, according to a source with knowledge of the negotiations. An official announcement could come as early as Monday.
"We've talked, but nothing's done," Gibbons said early Monday morning.
Gibbons' new deal would pay him $650,000 in 2008 -- a $150,000 raise over his salary for the upcoming '07 season. Toronto general manager J.P. Ricciardi was not immediately available for comment.
