The Blue Jays have added a second former general manager to their payroll.
Jim Beattie, former GM of both the Montreal Expos and the Baltimore Orioles, has been hired as a pro scout. He joins former Chicago Cubs GM Ed Lynch on the Jays' revamped scouting staff.
After pitching nine seasons in the majors with the New York Yankees and the Seattle Mariners (1978-86), Beattie served as the Expos GM from 1995 to 2001 and was co-GM of the Orioles with Mike Flanagan from 2003 to 2005.
Under new GM Alex Anthopoulos, the Jays have more than doubled their scouting staff and will have 69 scouts in place this season.
