John Gibbons was fired Friday by the last-place Toronto Blue Jays and replaced by Cito Gaston, who led the team to World Series titles in 1992 and 1993.
The move was first reported by FOXSports.com's Ken Rosenthal.
The Blue Jays began the day 35-39, having lost five straight and 13 of their last 17 games to fall 10 1/2 games behind first-place Boston in the AL East.
Gibbons' $650,000, one-year contract was to expire at the end of the year. He is the third major league manager fired this week, following Willie Randolph of the New York Mets and John McLaren of the Seattle Mariners. Randolph was fired early Tuesday and McLaren on Thursday.
