Toronto Blue Jays president Mark Shapiro is seen during a press conference in Toronto, Dec. 27, 2019.On Wednesday – the same day the Maple Leafs begin their 2021 season and the United States tried to fire its coach – the Blue Jays announced they had re-signed team president Mark Shapiro to a new five-year deal.
But in business terms, Shapiro has been a comprehensive success. He’s cut costs, worked a deal for renovated spring training facilities, spearheaded improvements to the existing ballpark and pushed forward the agenda for a new one.He surrounded himself with loyalists and though he tries to avoid answering for or explaining the Jays’ baseball decisions, no serious one gets made without his say-so.
The old-new executive is less concerned with the on-field product than he is with productivity as a general proposition. Things have got to be constantly happening. The real enemy isn’t the New York Yankees. It’s stasis. This was not a breakthrough, so much as a reasonable return on investment. Through modest aspiration and judicious spending, the Jays had arrived at a team that could be a small success on the field, and a big one at the annual board meeting. Only one of those things matters to the club’s owner, Rogers Communications.
Reasons why proper punctuation is important.
Omg I thought he was gone 😉😉😉🍺🍺🍺
Sheesh what a typo 🤦🏻♂️ Thought he quit DoBetter
Perhaps 're-signing' or, if the style guide dictates against hyphenation, try 'signing new deal'. I clicked through for the wrong reason.
What a shame.... I thought the Jays had a good shot this year if there was a Canadian division like the NHL.
I think you mean 're-signing'?
Haven't watched one game since Alex left. How he handled Edwin was unacceptable.
Re-signing not resigning!
