breaking news; Blue Jays president Mark Shapiro promulgate selling of club………..

At times feisty, at times testy, at times illuminating, at times delusional and circumspect. It was a mixed bag of coming clean when Shapiro acknowledged the team’s bullpen as the primary culprit why the season has gone off the rails.

When it came to the bigger picture issues involving Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Bo Bichette and embattled GM Ross Atkins, fans of the club were left wanting.

Shapiro’s history in the game is one where he does not comment in-season when discussing the status of a player or executive.

“Contextually, I’m a huge believer in stability and continuity and those are competitive advantages in pro sports. Reacting and change don’t necessarily mean improvement,” he said when asked about Atkins.
