Blue Jays acquire Daulton Varsho for Moreno and Gurriel

[Pendleton]

we could get Ohtani with this package

True, for normal players. Varsho is not your normal player though. Good chance he's safe at first and the runner safe at 3B.

 

I would leave it up to Varsho. If the 2B is playing deep, he can bunt to move the runner if he wants, and maybe beat it out.

 

This should be a major option against LHP, especially if the pitcher falls off to the third base side.

Even if that was true, Varsho likely provides more WAR over his Jays tenure vs 1 year of Ohtani

[Deadpool]

Why don't you start a new thread about it?

 

PS, if you do that, I will ban you.

 

I would just like it to be publicly known that peterkim reported this post for harassment

 

Everyone point and laugh at peterkim.

[peterkim]

[TheHurl]

Stop responding to the Dogg

[John_Havok]

Please free Peterkim. He didn’t do anything to violate rules nor insult a mod or poster.

Seriously though, what value does that nonsense troll account add to the board? He starts new, pointless threads, people mock him and that's about it.

 

It wasn't me who banned him, but I'm not sad that he's gone.

It doesn't shock me at all that you feel that this is tyranny. Not even a little bit.

[Spanky99]

It's the Dogg people, give me a break.

[Laika]

What he does is spam IMO

 

He will be back at some point anyway so calm your tits

Is he faking English as a second language, because if so, he has been very consistent with his vocabulary. I think he is just a maybe naive poster with different views. Annoying to some should not be a reason for a ban… Because then it becomes subjective and banning based on popularity vs a rule violation or personal attack etc.

Nah this s*** goes back to the old MLB forums, the name is a dead giveaway that its a troll account

Yeah it's an act

[Pendleton]

Must be well into his second decade of trolling if it pre dates this forum. Dedicated, among other adjectives.

[bigshot84]

[Eat My Shatkins]

[WryNGinger]

It's a troll account. Keep him banned.

Exactly ban the f***ers that respond to him. Now the mods have 50+ new accounts to clean up.

Varsho had 4.6 WAR in 2022

Played at the same pace in 2021

 

Destroyed AA at 22 without striking out much

 

They get his four prime seasons

 

Perfect roster fit. Left handed CF who is also the emergency catcher so you can DH Kirk all the time.

 

Could be more upside I don’t think it’s set in stone that he will have whiff issues like in his short career so far

 

Head of the nerds. Go out and scout a game once in awhile or something

He probably never even watched Varsho play before he was acquired by the Jays.

free Peter Kim. Looked him up on Facebook, hes a real guy with a famliy and 208 friends. Went to UCLA.

 

This locks perfectly.

Just looking at some of the other targets we had before the Varsho trade. Alek Thomas and Jake McCarthy would have been huge misses. Corbin Carroll would have been spectacular, obviously. Moreno was a similar calibre of prospect, both top 10 guys. I wonder how much more we would have needed to get him.

 

Varsho has been a disappointment, obviously, but I still believe he's a useful piece going forward. This issue with this trade, as some pointed out, was that giving up an elite prospect for a non-superstar is almost always a mistake. Long term successful teams like the Dodgers don't make trades like that. They get guys like Mookie Betts for less than what we gave up.
