Blue Jays remove interim tag from manager John Schneider

The Toronto Blue Jays removed the interim tag from manager John Schneider on Friday, agreeing to a three-year contract with him with a team option for the 2026 season.

Schneider took the helm of the club on July 13, following the firing of manager Charlie Montoyo. The Jays were 46-42 under Montoyo, and Schneider led them to a 46-28 mark on the way to an American League wild-card berth.

The Blue Jays lost the series to the Seattle Mariners.

“I am honored, excited and deeply humbled to continue leading this extraordinary group of players, coaches and staff,” Schneider said in a statement released by the team. “This organization has made me feel at home since Day One. So many people have had a hand in helping me get here, and becoming manager of the Blue Jays is not something I take lightly.”

The Blue Jays didn’t announce financial terms of Schneider’s contract.

Schneider, 42, has been part of the Toronto organization since 2002, when the Blue Jays selected him in the 13th round of the 2002 draft. He spent six years in the minor leagues and retired after sustaining three concussions in 2007.

He coached and managed in the Blue Jays minor league system until joining the coaching staff of the big league team in 2018.
