When John Schneider arrived back at his #BlueJays office last week, he found a letter sitting on his desk. It waited for him all winter. It came from 9x NBA Champion Steve Kerr. Unlocked & free to read, here's the story of that letter: nytimes.com/athletic/71542…

Hey guys, it’s Ernie. Before the season starts, I had some thoughts for @BlueJays fans I wanted to share. Thanks for reading theplayerstribune.com/ernie-clement-…

“I've never been in a room full of grown men who were all crying.” New from me: It’s possible the Blue Jays could be even better in ‘26 than they were in their magical run to the World Series. But first they had to cope with the shock of losing Game 7 nytimes.com/athletic/70730…

Greyson had a huge fall for us as he continues to learn a new position at 1B. He is an XBH waiting to happen in the box as he came up with some huge hits for us in the fall. He's continuing to get stronger and there is a lot of pop in that bat.

Brooklyn can really spin it and has a knack for stepping up in big games. He'll be a huge part of our pitching staff this summer and looking forward to seeing him continue to develop and be a dog on the mound for us.

@PrepBaseballON @TerrierTeams @PB_Uncommitted @dominic_76000 @josh_arceBB @CamAraujoBB @Joezay28 @JaxsonBaseball @brendanmahood_ @StavrakyBB @aaronduffyy Dom is one of the hardest working and humble players in the organization. Commitment and dedication to his craft. His hard work is paying off and excited to see what this summer has in store for Dom.

C/1B Dominic Williams 2027, @TerrierTeams @PB_Uncommitted 6-foot, 195-pounds 1 of 2 barrels last night from Williams who’s trended in the right direction this offseason. LHH catcher that will be key bat in the Terriers lineup. @dominic_76000 | #BeSeen🇨🇦

@PrepBaseballON @TerrierTeams @PB_Uncommitted Nolan is a gamer. True two way at this stage of his career. On base machine as a hitter and very important pitcher for his team on the mound. High character player who is a team leader.

OF/LHP Nolan Scott 2027, @TerrierTeams Strong inning of work from Scott last night. Competed in the zone at 80-82 with ability to locate on both sides of the plate. Also added a knock in the box, as well. @PB_Uncommitted | #BeSeen🇨🇦

Cole is an extremely intelligent player that brings a ton of intangibles to his team. Was an absolute pleasure having him last season.

Beyond blessed to announce my commitment to continue my academic and athletic journey at Ithaca College. Thank you to my family, coaches, teammates, and everyone who has supported me along the way.

What is Success? 1. It is not a trophy. 2. It is not a statistic. 3. It is not a destination. 4. It is not an achievement. It is a relentless consistency in the process of great daily habits. Trust the Process. No Deposit - No Return!

@519sportsonline This group is ready to take on the challenge of a National Championship next week. They are as talented as any team out there and play for each other #MUDITA #DominateTheDay #BeAGoldfish

A team first mindset has led to success for the U15 Waterloo Ghosts this season! The team is heading to the Canadian Championship this weekend in Manitoba as Ontario 1. Click the link below for our interviews with the players! #LocalSports #519Proud youtu.be/uvpCj1LgPKU

Back when I was Manager of the Rockies, Keli McGregor said something to me that changed everything: "I'm going to help you be a better man. Because if I grow the man spiritually, you'll have no choice but to be the best manager you can be." That's when I learned the difference between transactional and transformational leadership. Transactional leadership is giving to get. You do something for me, I'll do something for you. It's keeping score. It's leveraging relationships. Transformational leadership is giving so others can be the best version of themselves. No strings attached. No scoreboard. Just serving. I spent years looking for what I could get out of every relationship. Then I learned to stop keeping score altogether. Here's what I know: Nobody's going to let you coach them until they trust you. And trust comes down to three questions they're asking about you: Can I trust you? Do you care about me? Can you make me better? If you can't answer yes to all three, you're not leading. You're just taking a walk alone.

TNT = Takes No Talent 🧨 Hustle. Effort. Energy. Focus. Body language. Being on time. These require zero talent, but they define your team. Make them non-negotiable. Talent wins games. TNT wins culture. And culture wins over time. Start with TNT.

Thank you to @NatsOnt for a great 3 years with the organization. Lots of memories made and an opportunity to work with many outstanding players and coaches. Looking forward to the next chapter with @TerrierTeams starting in the fall

MUDITA - Finding the Joy and Happiness in the Success of Others. This is something we have talked to our 16U Ontario Nationals team about this off season and it's so rewarding to see the players celebrating the success of their teammates @NatsOnt @jzinger29 @soar_images

Clark not only looks impressive at a scout day, but also produces in games at a high level. Very talented player who works hard for everything. A student of the game who asks good questions and wants to be elite.
