Sartori has been with the Blue Jays since September of 2010, will be leaving the post for a job handling the Sports section of Apple's App Store, according to SportsNet. The Jays manager will leave his position next month, and Toronto has yet to name a replacement.
Prior to his position as assistant general manager for the Blue Jays, Sartori directed baseball operations for the Washington Nationals. From 2005 to 2009, he managed salary and contract administration for Major League Baseball. A graduate of Boston College, Sartori has also held positions at Pacific Growth Equities and Robertson Stephens.
Sartori's exact duties with Apple are as yet unknown, but the position he is heading to is said to be at an executive-level.
AppleInsider has reached out for more information regarding the new hire and will update when a response is received.

Apple wants to offer more sports on Apple TV. They already offer MLB. Could NFL Sunday Ticket be next? I'd buy!
Apple is buying the A's and renaming them the iTeam or the iAthletics.
