Last “fake” bark before the “real” barks 🤣

Goodnight, #BlueJays Fans 🐶

A place that feels like home 💙

Thank you, Dunedin.
Thank you, #BlueJays fans.

See you in Toronto!

After 42 days of #BlueJays Spring Training, I’ve returned home to some of the things I missed most about Toronto.

1. Eating a Sleepy Pete’s breakfast sandwich with the dog.
2. Having a few Guinness with the dog.

Last call from Dunedin:

This is what stood out to me most in #BlueJays camp.

Ross Atkins will lead the #BlueJays into his second decade as GM.

My story on how he’s gotten here, the vindication of the 2025 World Series run and what comes next:

John Schneider’s a long way from the 2002 Auburn Doubledays.

25 years after the #BlueJays drafted him, Schneider is the right man to be leading this team.

I’m a big believer that once a manager clears the bar of being “a good manager”, they need to fit their team.

Cito Gaston fit the Word Series teams. John Gibbons fit the veteran rosters he had in ‘15-‘16.

John Schneider fits this team. A #BlueJays lifer who has grown into this.

The #BlueJays have a rare level of stability from the top down.

• Shapiro: Extended in December
• Atkins: Extended today
• Schneider: Extended today
• Vladdy: 14 more years

Much more to come this morning, all from this Air Canada Rouge seat built for a 117-pound person.

News: John Schneider, Ross Atkins sign contract extensions with #BlueJays

Five years for Atkins, two more years for Schneider (through 2028).
