Shapiro set to make his mark on Blue Jays

The Cleveland Indians’ charter arrived at Pearson International at 6:30 p.m. Sunday.

Manager Terry Francona was on the flight, along with the likes of former Cy Young winner Corey Kluber, outfielder Michael Brantley, and catcher Yan Gomes.

Indians president Mark Shapiro was not on the plane.

Yet, either Monday or Tuesday, Shapiro is expected to be hired by Rogers Communications as the next president of the Toronto Blue Jays. Shapiro would be taking over for Paul Beeston, who ownership tried to push into retirement until a announcement on Jan. 31 said Beeston could stay until Oct.
