Mark Shapiro opens up to ShiDavidi about the BlueJays' new training complex in Dunedin, discusses the risks of the Hyun-Jin Ryu signing, and provides an update on ticket sales.

: The complex includes three tech labs , an indoor pool, plus hot-and-cold tubs for the training staff, collaborative spaces for pitching and hitting, a classroom, a lounge and even private phone rooms for players to call their families. You visited several other facilities before construction started. Which were particularly impactful or influential in what you settled on here?: Different ones for different pieces of the building.

When I reflected on it, it was like, yeah, what feels good and what we should have some pride over as an organization, particularly from a baseball operations perspective, is the work that’s been done to put us in position to be able to sign Ryu.

The players recognize it as an affirmation of our belief in them. Like, ‘Oh man, that’s so cool, these guys know we can be good. That’s awesome.’ And for us, it is a kind of reflection of our belief in our players. These guys believe so much in their potential. They believe so much in each other. They have so few limits on what they think they’re capable of doing that as I sit and listen to Ross, listen to our baseball operations staff, that fuelled their desire to do it now.
