The Toronto Blue Jays are showing faith in the team’s braintrust coming off an appearance in the 2025 World Series. Just days before the start of the 2026 MLB season, the Blue Jays announced extensions with both manager John Schneider and general manager Ross Atkins on Monday.
Prior to the extensions, both men were entering the final year of their contracts. Atkins was signed through 2031 and Schneider was signed through 2028, per MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand.
