Shapiro outlines state of organization in sitdown

Club president discusses Vlad Jr., the Donaldson trade, payroll and more in wide-ranging interview

TORONTO -- Blue Jays president Mark Shapiro sat down with the local media for approximately 45 minutes on Friday afternoon in a State of the Union-like address that touched on almost every aspect of the organization.

The biggest news to come out of Friday's availability was that Shapiro reaffirmed his commitment to the Blue Jays by stating that Toronto "is where I want to be," in light of a recent report that he was interested in a job opening with the Mets.
