On Aaron Sanchez In speaking with Sportsnet’s Arash Madani, Atkins said that trading Aaron Sanchez “certainly wasn’t a need”, adding that “he’s been great” for the Blue Jays and that trading him was “just the opportunity”. Atkins and the Blue Jays front office will be “pulling for” Sanchez going forward. On Derek Fisher In Derek Fisher, Atkins “loves” Fisher’s ability to steal bases, field his position, and “his ability to play all three” outfield positions. Fisher, 25, was drafted by the Astros in the first round of the 2014 MLB Draft.
