Ross Atkins pulled off another trade to upgrade the Blue Jays roster, and he’s made these improvements without making much of a sacrifice.

It started with the acquisition of Adam Cimber and Corey Dickerson from the Miami Marlins, which should help their bullpen and the bench depth. For that deal all the Blue Jays sent back was a veteran utility man in Joe Panik, and a minor league reliever that most fans had never heard of in Adam McInvale.
