Fans were disappointed with the press conference as usual since both Shapiro and Atkins failed to give any real answers to the media while the few questions they did answer were filled with typical clichés.
Out of a 25 minute interview, the only useful piece of information Shapiro gave the media is that Atkins would be returning next season as general manager of the Blue Jays.

Shapiro spent the majority of the press conference telling the media that Atkins would be better suited to answer their questions which then led to Atkins making his appearance after a short break.
Atkins followed in Shapiro's footsteps by giving no real update apart from stating that bench coach Don Mattingly will have the same role next year but will not be focusing on offense as he will take on a more traditional bench coach position.
Don Mattingly will no longer oversee the Blue Jays offence, Ross Atkins announced.
He will return to a "traditional bench coach" role
