From Criticized to Celebrated: Examining Ross Atkins’ Time with the Blue Jays

In this video I explore the polarizing tenure of Toronto Blue Jays General Manager Ross Atkins and ask the question many fans are now debating: Does Ross Atkins deserve an apology after the Blue Jays’ surprising 2025 AL Pennant run? From inheriting an aging core in 2015 to making bold trades, controversial free-agent decisions, and franchise-defining signings, Atkins has built a legacy filled with both brilliance and blunders. I break down the moves I believe he got right—like Kevin Gausman and George Springer—while also revisiting his harshest criticisms, including the handling of Edwin Encarnacion, Josh Donaldson, and the beyond questionable move that may just make him one of the luckies GMs of all time. Whether you believe Atkins saved the franchise or simply got lucky, this video provides a balanced, detailed look at how the Blue Jays reached their 2025 postseason success.
