Whether It’s a New Contract or Building a Contender, Shapiro Focuses on the Task at Hand
Mark Shapiro, in the final year of his contract, affirms his intent to stay with the Blue Jays as talks continue, with the team holding the top American League record, officials said.
- During a media session at Toronto’s Rogers Centre on August 12, 2025, Mark Shapiro, the Blue Jays’ president, refrained from discussing negotiations for a contract extension.
- Shapiro's remarks came as he enters the last season remaining on his deal, during a turnaround season in which the Blue Jays have risen from their previous last-place position in the AL East to hold the league's top spot.
- The Blue Jays began a six-game series at home and held the top spot in the American League with a 69-50 record as they prepared for a Tuesday night matchup against the Chicago Cubs.
- Shapiro, 58, said he wants to remain with the club and expressed appreciation for leading a team representing Canada, while ownership reciprocates the desire to keep him.
- This situation suggests ongoing mutual interest in Shapiro's retention, but he considers further public comment on extension talks inappropriate at this time.
