End to Blue Jays season leaves sour taste in Shapiro's mouth. MORE:
The Blue Jays' 91-71 record was a sharp turnaround from the last full Major League Baseball season, when they went 67-95 in 2019.
Toronto was 32-28 in a 2020 season shortened by the COVID-19 pandemic, and the Blue Jays front office elevated the team with a productive off-season. Semien hit 45 homers — a new MLB record for a player who played most of his season at second base — with 102 RBIs and an MLB-leading 86 extra-base hits.
"We'll have the resources to do it, both in young talent that we could trade and in payroll," said Shapiro."It may not be the exact same shape and form, but we're going to get better. We'll find a way to do it."
