明天開始 Indians & Blue Jays 要打三連戰
(順帶一提, Jays 不會碰到 Kluber 或 Carrasco)
而此刻 Blue Jays 決定找來 Indians president, Mark Shapiro
來當他們的 president.
Shapiro 在 Indians 球團做了 24 年, 這次將會接手現任 president & CEO,
Paul Beeston. Beeston 即將在年底退位, 而 Jays 也在球季結束前確定了人選.
要觀察的是, Shapiro 的到來, 會對 Alex Anthopoulos & John Gibbons 有無影響.

Blue Jays hire Mark Shapiro as president
The Blue Jays will hire Mark Shapiro as their next president, according to a
report from Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com. Shapiro, who is currently serving as
the Indians' team president, will replace Paul Beeston in the same position
with Toronto.
Shapiro, 48, joins the Jays after serving in the Indians' front office since
1991, having acted as assistant farm director, farm director, general manager
and president in his time with the organization. He is likely to keep Alex
Anthopoulos on as the team's general manager, at least partially due to the
success the team has had since Anthopoulos aggressively acquired stars Troy
Tulowitzki and David Price last month.
Toronto pursued Orioles' general manager Dan Duquette and White Sox'
president Kenny Williams to replace Beeston last offseason, but could not
agree to compensation with either club and will instead turn to Shapiro to
lead the organization in the future. The hiring of Shapiro is the latest in a
series of front office moves around baseball that has seen the Red Sox,
Tigers, Mariners, Brewers and Angels undergo significant changes since the
beginning of the season.
At this point, it is unclear if the Indians will demand compensation for
Shapiro, as lateral moves such as the Red Sox' hiring of John Farrell in 2012
usually require some sort of deal to be worked out between the clubs.
Precedent suggests that any player compensation going to Cleveland in the
deal will be relatively insignificant.
