Toronto Blue Jays first-base coach Mark Budzinski will step away from the team for an extended period due to the death of Julia Budzinski, his eldest daughter, announced the Toronto Blue Jays.
The sad news is being processed and grieved by many. “The Budzinskis have been part of our Blue Jays family over the last four seasons. This devastating loss is felt by our entire organization and we grieve alongside Bud and his family,” Ross Atkins, the Blue Jays’ executive vice president of baseball operations and general manager, said in a statement. “I have known Bud for more than 25 years and have always admired his commitment as a dad and husband first. He is loved and well-respected by our entire clubhouse and holds a special place in all our hearts.”
Budzinski and manager Charlie Montoyo left in the third inning of the second game of the Blue Jays’ doubleheader on Saturday against the Rays. After the game, the Blue Jays closed their clubhouse and said that Montoyo and the team’s other coaches were with Budzinski, who was dealing with a personal matter.
