Jays’ Shapiro unveils Dunedin makeover details and weighs in on 2019 plans
TORONTO — Work crews were chipping away at projects outside Rogers Centre on Wednesday as Blue Jays president Mark Shapiro was busy weighing in on the team’s construction plans inside the stadium.
While the downtown facility will get a new roof this off-season and some other tweaks in and around the venue are planned, the heavy lifting will be done at the team’s training facility and stadium in Dunedin, Fla.
Shapiro unveiled plans for a US$80-million project that will triple the size of the current facility and give it a much-needed facelift.
“I think we’re going to have overall the all-around best facility in Major League Baseball when this is done,” he said.
