"Shapiro entered this season in the final year of a five-year extension, which is believed to expire in January 2026, presenting the option for his potential departure if the '25 campaign went poorly. But, amidst the franchise's improbable run to the World Series, both sides expressed mutual interest in extending his tenure, albeit pausing those negotiations until the post-season concluded."
"Now that the off-season has arrived, it likely won't be long before the organization's POBO is reupped on a multi-year extension, with him admitting, "We'll likely work something out soon." Shapiro joined the Blue Jays organization midway through the 2015 season, replacing former team president and chief executive officer Paul Beeston, who had previously served in that role since 1991 and had been an employee since the franchise's inception in '76 - one year ahead of its inaugural campaign."
Mark Shapiro entered the season in the final year of a five-year extension believed to expire in January 2026, creating the possibility of departure if 2025 went poorly. The Blue Jays completed an improbable run to the World Series, prompting mutual interest in extending Shapiro's tenure while pausing negotiations until after the postseason. Shapiro indicated that the organization will likely work out a multi-year extension soon. The franchise plans to keep largely the same roster and front office following the 2025 season. Ross Atkins' contract expires after next season, and he declined to comment on his future. Extensions for Atkins are likely if Shapiro is re-signed.
