Toronto Blue Jays manager John Schneider had an interview recently in which he spoke of his expiring contract and his future in Toronto.
The Blue Jays have quite a few players and staff entering the final year of their contract which is why there has been a lot of talk about contract extensions.

This time last year, many fans were calling for the Blue Jays to make some drastic changes from their coaching staff to front office as they wanted Rogers to clean house which involved getting rid of Schneider and Ross Atkins.
The 2025 season completely changed that narrative which is no surprise after a trip to the World Series in which the Blue Jays came within two innings of winning it all.
During a recent interview, Schneider was asked about his expiring contract to which he said he is not focused on that right now, he wants to make sure that the team is doing everything they can to make the team better.
Right now I want to focus on how we're making our team better. I expect and hope that there's going to be a time when we kind of sit down and talk more about it.
There's nowhere else I'd rather be. I've been here for a long time, and I want to continue to be here for a long time, and Mark and Ross, they both know that. -Schneider

Schneider made it clear that he wants to stay with the Blue Jays after this season and is hoping that when everything is set up for their roster heading into 2026 that they can start to discuss a new deal for him.
John Schneider on his future in Toronto beyond 2026:
Unless 2026 somehow turns into a complete disaster of a season, there is a good chance that the Blue Jays will be signing Schneider to a new contract.
Schneider has had some up and downs throughout his time with the Blue Jays but last season changed everything for him and now they are headed into 2026 as real World Series contenders, especially with all of their off-season additions.
