Blue Jays ready to start new season push

Blue Jays president Mark Shapiro says the club will build on last season's World Series run and try to do it better. Toronto opens a fresh regular-season campaign with optimism and pressure to convert postseason momentum into sustained success. The club made a final roster move before Opening Day, assigning pitcher Chase Lee to Triple-A Buffalo. Management is also pursuing a future MLB All-Star Game, creating logistical and public relations questions for the franchise.
