"Thinking about last year, there is no better feeling than doing what we did, accomplishing what we accomplished, and being an eyelash short multiple times, right?"
"It's going to be a little bit of a target on our back. To steal a line from George [Springer]: 'Once you hang a banner, you're hanging a bullseye.' In the present, I want you to think about how we got there."
"Being obsessed with being a great teammate. being obsessed with getting better, being obsessed with winning, and being obsessed at understand what you're good at. That's it. If we can focus on that and not divert back to [2025], I think we're going to be right where we need to be."
The Blue Jays entered 2026 aiming to build on a 2025 season that fell an eyelash short of a World Series title. John Schneider addressed the full roster at Spring Training in Dunedin and set firm expectations for the coming year. Schneider warned that success will make the team a target but urged focus on the processes that produced last season’s run. He called for an obsession with being great teammates, continuous improvement, winning, and understanding individual strengths and roles. The message centers on collective discipline and process over dwelling on past what-ifs to return to contention.
