Shapiro added that the Blue Jays do not have a set payroll beyond the 2016 season and a lot of that will depend on how the club does and how much revenue it generates. It's a similar message to the one former president Paul Beeston often preached during his second tenure with the club.
"I think a lot of that is going to be dependent on how we do this year and how we perform as a business unit as well," Shapiro said of payroll. "It is a business. Like any business, we've got to increase revenue and grow revenue to increase expenses, and the expenses are player payroll when it comes to a Major League team. If we have a great year this year, that's certainly going to afford us the ability to grow player payroll and player expenses."
