The Toronto Blue Jays were 11 games under .500 in late April, but have rebounded since and are unlikely to sell off stars at the non-waiver trade deadline.
"Obviously we're not pleased with our record, but we're pleased with the fact that our team was able to dig out of a significant hole," Ross Atkins said. "Now we're very much in it. We can't climb back into one of those holes, because there's not as much time left. We need to play at a better-than-.500 clip, but we're glad that we're in a situation to even talk about that, given our start."
In early May, there were rumors that the Blue Jays could look to move someone like Josh Donaldson.
