Blue Jays GM Alex Anthopoulos has made a strong commitment to long-term development over his first year in charge. "He made a commitment that a lot of GMs do," Blue Jays vice president of baseball operations and assistant general manager Tony LaCava said of Anthopoulos's pledge to pay more attention to those two areas of the game. "Rogers Communications and Paul Beeston, they put their money where their mouth is and allowed us to increase our signing budget and bring in a lot more scouts."
