John Schneider will continue to call Toronto home for the foreseeable future. According to Sportsnet.ca, the Blue Jays have named Schneider their full-time manager, signing the 42-year-old to a three-year contract extension.
“Through his exceptional preparation, communication, positive energy, and relationships within the clubhouse, John demonstrated to us that he was the right leader for this team,” said general manager Ross Atkins. “His passion for the game, commitment to the job, and impact in the dugout have been driving forces behind our success.”
Taking over for former manager Charlie Montoyo on July 13, Schneider posted a 46-28 record, guiding the Jays to the top American League Wild Card spot.
