Blue Jays president and CEO Mark Shapiro says "there won't be a change" with GM Ross Atkins.
Fans cannot believe Shapiro says the organization looked around and though Atkins was the best option moving forward even though fans have pointed out that thhere are a ton of good options.
I mean, who could be better than the guy who has dismantled a 92-win team and did it while trying to improve the team?
"If I felt there was a better alternative to run our baseball operation, I'd make that change.»
Yikes....
Tough to find another «yes man» that shines shoes as well as Ross does
Shapiro avoided the majority of hard hitting questions throughout the entire press conference telling reporters that Atkins would be better suited to answer those questions basically handing him the ball.
