In what has been a frantic post-lockout off-season across Major League Baseball, the Toronto Blue Jays continued to cement their place as players in the market, acquiring All-Star first baseman Matt Chapman from the Oakland Athletics on Wednesday.
The move, which cost Toronto four players, headlined by 2021 first-round pick Gunnar Hoglund, addressed a recurring hole at third base for a club with post-season aspirations.
Ross Atkins, the Blue Jays general manager, will speak publicly for the first time since finalizing the deal and his comments can be seen in their entirety right here on Sportsnet, starting at 2:20 p.m. ET, using the video player atop this page.
