Ross Atkins shares your disappointment, Blue Jays fans. He also felt the sting of Shohei Ohtani turning down Toronto.
Although the Blue Jays general manager didn’t want to dwell on Ohtani’s decision to choose the Los Angeles Dodgers over Toronto in free agency, he took a moment to commiserate with his team’s fan base.
“We were obviously disappointed with the outcome and it was a very difficult phone call to receive, one of the more difficult ones in my career,” said Atkins in a video conference. “At the same time, incredible process and group effort and collaboration that we feel so good about.
“Not only that process, but what it meant to be in that position for this organization, for the city, for the country.”
