The Toronto Blue Jays cut 24 front office jobs on Tuesday, which represents about 10 per cent of the front-office staff not involved in baseball operations. News of the cuts came only hours after the death of team owner Ted Rogers. "It's regrettable," the team's interim president Paul Beeston said. "Every sports team is challenged (by the sinking economy), and the Toronto Blue Jays are as well. ... I don't think you can say anything other than we're in for a rough ride, and who knows how long that's going to last."
