Yeah, I don’t think Varsho was great here or awful. I just think most of us expected more. He never really became that 4–5 WAR outfielder we thought he could be, outside of maybe 2025 if he had stayed healthy for 140–150 games.

I think the bigger frustration is that, looking back, some people feel Moreno could have brought back a better outfielder. Either way, there’s no need for some posters to get worked up over it. It was a miss from the Jays’ perspective, but hardly some franchise-killing trade lol.

This was always the issue.  Top prospects net you a better return than Varsho was at the time. 

Not awful, just not maximizing the value most felt was deserved for Moreno. Many were expecting a Carroll calibre player instead of Varsho.
