Mark Shapiro Core Quotations

We had a lot of quality, substantive conversations that I hope demonstrated to Cliff that he is a core part of this team. But a value we both felt good about was not one we could reach right now.

We want to improve our readiness and preparedness for April. The core of our team is in place. If we feel it's easy, we want to make our decisions sooner.

We're trying to build a wider tent to bring more people in, but at the same time not alienate our core audience. These three shows will be a bridge between the news and entertainment sides of sports.

It's similar in that both times we signed core players who we wanted to keep together for a run of championship baseball. That's what's most important about what's happening here now. We want to keep this team together.
