"In a press conference on Thursday, Blue Jays general manager Ross Atkins noted that the team has exercised the 2026 option on Schneider's contract. It's also worth noting that Atkins noted that the two parties are discussing a longer extension. Schneider is one of three finalists for the American League Manager of the Year, along with Stephen Vogt of the Cleveland Guardians and Dan Wilson of the Seattle Mariners."
"Schneider took over as the Blue Jays' manager midway through the 2022 season, replacing Charlie Montoyo. Over the remaining 74 games, the Blue Jays were 46-28. In his first full season as the manager, the 2023 Blue Jays finished with an 89-73 record, but they dropped to a 74-88 record in 2024. Along with his 94-68 record in 2025, Schneider has a 303-257 record since taking over as the Blue Jays' manager, giving him a .541 winning percentage."
The Blue Jays exercised the 2026 option on Schneider's contract and are engaged in talks for a longer extension. Schneider was a finalist for American League Manager of the Year after guiding the Blue Jays to a 94-68 record and the best record in the American League in 2025. Schneider led the team to Game 7 of the World Series and will manage the American League in the 2026 All-Star Game. Schneider became manager midway through 2022 and owns a 303-257 (.541) regular-season record and a 10-12 postseason mark. Don Mattingly stepped down as bench coach, creating a vacancy.
