Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette believes a change was needed at the helm of the team and is far from disagreeing with the decision to fire manager Charlie Montoyo.

The latter was bailed out after a bad streak for the club which had suffered a four-game sweep at the Seattle Mariners. After a narrow 4-3 win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday, the organization fired its head coach and replaced him on an interim basis with bench coach John Schneider. Also, Bichette believes that players will quickly understand the message.

"I think we needed something to point us in the right direction," he told Sportsnet. It's not my role to fix this. We have to show up on the pitch in order to be ready to play as solidly as possible. Senior management did what they deemed necessary. I'm not against that."

Now, will the Jays be able to achieve more success? Since Montoyo's departure, they won 8-2 against the Phillies on Wednesday before losing 3-1 to the Kansas City Royals on Thursday.

“They will give new direction and a sense of responsibility. Their presence will be very important for the club, considered the Inter player. I'm super excited for Casey [Candaele, new bench coach] and Schneids who got this opportunity."

The Jays are scheduled to play the Royals three more times before the Major League Baseball All-Star Game break. Going into Friday's game, they were fourth in the American League East with a 47-43 record.
