Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill fleeced him on a trade and he's never forgotten it.
Mattingly changing roles is interesting, IMO better set up for taking the managerial role.
No matter who's fault it is at that point (bad offseason, injuries etc), if the Jays aren't a decent number of games above .500 by the end of May, Schneider is gone. I'm also not 100% convinced he starts the season if some top manager comes available to Shapiro's liking in the next month or two, no matter what hot air was spewed today.

Regarding the last part, Zaidi is now available. Has an MIT education and was once sought after in every industry. Not sure he has the same bs ability as Shapiro, but it would be my choice.
