Who knows, maybe Shapiro is planning his own exit too.
Renos are done, just in time for the most disappointing season in 6, 7, or more, years…but point is that he put the plans are in place as far as renos go, and got approval from owners on how those renos would help generate x $ of additionalincome every year based on certain projections…that done, his role is finished, really for a big part of why he’s been brought in.
He could very easily wipe his hands and leave the Jays for someone else that he can promise to help turn around and be employed for another 6 or 7 years.
But another season or two of un filled expectations in Toronto means a lot of the cache he has built up around the renos and having built a team that look to be near the brink of going all the way, before this season, would be gone if he still can’t turn around the onfield fortunes with the big payroll he has.
