JAYS' SHAPIRO REWARDED WITH EXTENSION

Toronto Blue Jays president and CEO Mark Shapiro has signed a five-year extension to remain in his position with the team. After back-toback trips to the post-season in 2015 and 2016, Shapiro and GM Ross Atkins have rebuilt the Jays from the ground up, the first fruits of that process coming in 2020 when the team returned to the playoffs.
