In the midst of a power surge up the standings and renewed playoff hopes, the Toronto Blue Jays reportedly remain focused on their outlook for next season.

The Blue Jays have contacted former Detroit Tigers general manager Dave Dombrowski, according to Bob Elliott of the Toronto Sun, regarding the club's soon-to-be vacant president's job.

Paul Beeston is set to step down from his position as the Blue Jays' president at the end of the season after almost 40 years in the organization. Several prominent names have been speculated to have interest in the high-profile role, including Baltimore Orioles executive Dan Duquette and Chicago White Sox vice president of baseball operations Kenny Williams.

Dombrowski, 59, was released from his contract by Detroit last week after nearly 14 seasons with the club to "pursue other career opportunities," according to Tigers owner Mike Ilitch.
