This devastating loss is felt throughout our organization and we mourn with Bud and his family,” said Ross Atkins, executive vice president of baseball and general manager manager of the Blue Jays. “I have known Bud for over 25 years and have always admired his commitment as a dad and husband first. “He is loved and respected by our entire club and holds a special place in all of our hearts.” Mark Budzinski left the Blue Jays early in the second game of a day-night doubleheader against the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday. Manager Charlie Montoyo repeatedly left the boat for the club during the game. Bench coach John Snyder stepped in as coach during Montoyo’s brief absences. After the 11-5 loss to Tampa, the Blue Jays issued a statement saying there would be no postgame availability. The team also closed its clubhouse to reporters as the coaching staff stood by Budzinski as he addressed a “personal matter.” This report by The Canadian Press was first published on July 3, 2022.
