Bell helped with Toronto’s player dev group and mental & physical performance departments. He was one of 3 titled Assistant GMs
David Bell has stepped down as Blue Jays assistant GM and VP of baseball operations, positions he has held since the winter of 2024. Bell told The Athletic, “I decided to step away and reassess where I can make the greatest impact, on and off the field. The Toronto Blue Jays are a first-class organization. I have a deep appreciation for the people I’ve worked with over the past two years.”

Toronto's Kawhi Leonard is expected to miss a period of weeks due to swelling in his left knee, sources tell ESPN. MRI on Leonard's knee showed no structural damage, but sides will use the shorter term to ramp him back up after the stoppages during the offseason.

Kawhi Leonard did participate in his pregame routine, however he noticed an issue in his knee. When he went to the medical staff to have it checked out, they ruled him out. The medical staff will re-evaluate Kawhi in Toronto tomorrow. There will be an update as soon as Tuesday. H/T: @raesubban , TSN

That’s not good!
Kawhi Leonard is a late scratch for tonight’s game in Minnesota. He’s OUT with left knee swelling. Would imagine Walter starts in his place.
