Blue Jays Extend Front Office, Prepare for Spring

0:00On March 23rd, the Toronto Blue Jays just locked in their front office and dug out leaders with new contract extensions. General Manager Ross Atkins is now set through 2031, while Manager John Schneider's deal runs through 2028. Both were heading into the final year of their previous contracts. This comes right after a strong 2025 season, where the Jays came so close to a World Series title. Donald follows the five-year extension for Team President Mark Shapiro back in December. Atkins' deal even stretches one year past Shapiro's. Fans and analysts see this as a clear sign of commitment to stability from ownership. Schneider finished second in Manager of the Year voting last year, which made the move feel like a no-brainer. Shifting to spring training, the Jays are holding an inter squad game today, with Eric Lauer slated for five innings against their triple A, Buffalo. Quad. They've trimmed the roster too, letting go of Yari El Rodriguez, Jorge Alcala, and Angel Bastardo from the Big Lee Club.
