Toronto Blue Jays president and chief executive officer Mark Shapiro said he hopes to reach a new agreement with club owner Rogers Communications before his contract expires at the end of the 2025 season. “I want to remain here, and both Edward Rogers and Tony Staffieri have been reciprocal in that desire,” the 58-year-old executive told reporters on Tuesday. Shapiro is finishing the five-year extension he signed in January 2021, his second deal since joining Canada’s lone Major League Baseball franchise in late 2015. During his tenure he has overseen a multi-year renovation of Rogers Centre and an upgrade of the team’s spring-training complex in Dunedin, Florida. The Blue Jays entered their series against the Chicago Cubs with a 69-50 record, the best winning percentage in the American League one year after finishing last in the division. General manager Ross Atkins, whose contract runs through 2026, was hired by Shapiro two months after his arrival. While the front-office continuity has been credited for the club’s rebound, the Blue Jays have yet to win a postseason game under the current regime, having been swept in all three wild-card appearances this decade. Discussions on Shapiro’s future are expected to intensify as the team pursues its first deep playoff run since 2015.
