You win some and you lose some when it comes to making trades in Major League Baseball, and so far Ross Atkins has come out on top of most of the deals he’s made as the general manager of the Toronto Blue Jays.
There have been a few good ones already, but arguably the best move he’s made was a smaller deal with the Houston Astros that was made early in the offseason. After a solid season in Toronto, Ross Atkins and company sent Aledmys Diaz to the Houston Astros in exchange for a Triple-A pitcher by the name of Trent Thornton.
