Gaston speaks fairly candidly about his future beyond 2010, as well as the team's chances next season.
Blue Jays manager Cito Gaston wants nothing more than to see his club return to the postseason. Given the current state of the organization and the strength of the American League East, Gaston also realizes that might not be an entirely realistic goal next season.
As it turns out, Gaston's contract expires after the 2010 campaign. Beyond that, he is sure of only one thing -- that he wants to leave the Blue Jays "in good shape." Gaston wants to remain with Toronto in some capacity after next year, but he is not certain that will be as the team's manager.
"I really think it's going to get better -- I really do," Gaston said. "Even if you might have to suck it up a little bit in 2010, the next year, you get some relief from the other money that's going to leave here."
