While there has been little said as to who will manage the Toronto Blue Jays after this season, one name has emerged, and it's former Jays' catcher Sal Fasano.

According to MLB.com's Cleveland Indians beat reporter Anthony Castrovince, the 11-year veteran is an 'early candidate' to replace Cito Gaston, who is retiring as the Jays manager at the end of the season.

Fasano, who was a member of the Jays in 2007, is currently a manager in the Jays' system, leading the Single-A Lansing Lugnuts.

Haha, I loved Fasano during his brief stint here in a Blue Jays uniform.

I know he's a really early candidate -- this is just a rumor, and nothing is serious yet. But I still think that this is more a "fun" idea than a smart one. But catchers do make the best managers...

Yeah, like Buck Martinez!

But seriously, while I do think they see him as a future manager, they are very unlikely to hire him based on his one year managing in A ball.

Still expecting that it'll be Dan Rohn, the AAA manager. Bumping Fasano up from Lansing would be kinda insane.

I still lean towards Butterfield. He has been around for the three different managers, so the team clearly loves him. And I don't know why you take the demotion from bench coach back to 3rd when you know the manager is changing again next year, unless you think you've got a shot at that job.

[Soogrim]

i would hire him for his stache alone

[OldNo7]

1 season in the the low low minors is not enough. I think the odds are good that Butterfield is the next guy for the job.

[DonYon]

he would convince roy halladay to come back

[J Dilla]

Bring Buck Showalter!

[The Flying Gent]

I'd follow Sal Fasaon's mustache anywhere.

[CapeCrusader]

I hope not...would rather have someone established.

he might have the potential to be a good manager, but he would have to serve as a bench coach or something at the major level before he would get the job
