Jays Release Frank Thomas
The Blue Jays released Frank Thomas before his anger could be too much of a disruption in the club house. Despite hitting some home runs, Thomas' bat speed had slowed and was hitting .167 which most of the Blue Jays pitching staff could hit if pressed into service so I am not sure why he is so surprised. I imagine Tampa Bay will pick him up for 30 games or so but other than that, I think his career is done. While I wasn't a big fan of his signing in Toronto, I liked him in Chicago and Oakland. Too bad he had lost so much bat speed by the time he had gotten to Toronto.
Even he didn't bring much offense to Toronto, he did leave them with a pretty good promotional commercial.

I think Thomas has to get a certain number of at-bats for a bonus, and the Jays really didn't want to pay for sub-par batting?
Thomas Contract
That's totally it but I think I could have hit .160. His bat speed has really gone down but all careers come to an end and none of them think it is happening to them.
