After Shea Hillenbrand wrote on the clubhouse bulletin board that the "ship was sinking," Blue Jays manager John Gibbons challenged him to a fight.

There was no brawl, but the tense relationship between the two reached the breaking point during a team meeting Wednesday night. Gibbons was adamant that he would've quit if Hillenbrand wasn't cut.

"That's a fact. That's how the whole thing got started," Gibbons said before Thursday night's game against the Yankees. "I told him he won't see the field as long as I'm here."
