He was 31 when the Jays signed him. Idk about his career numbers at the time, but his career numbers after his abysmal time with the Jays is 91 wRC+…. Which is 10 points higher than IKF’s current career numbers.
If (more like when) one of them gets injured, Varsho should be the backup C with KK primarily covering CF. I don’t wanna see Tyler f***ing Heineman getting 2 starts a week again
I don’t see why not. Mookie is an elite RF yet still plays tons of 2B and SS when needed. Varsho caught like 50 games in 2022. I think he should start 20ish games at catcher, especially now that KK is returning.
Last year’s iteration of the Jays was the most boring in recent memory. Offense-heavy teams are just more fun than pitching/D teams. They just are.
I think all of us were hoping for a more balanced team with more focus on offense next season, but so far this offseason looks like more focus on D
I 100% did not expect KK to be re-signed. I won’t deny that. Still don’t think he’s a great fit unless he’s considered a 4th OF/bench piece. Feels like another move must be coming.
If they trade Varsho and sign Bellinger then bringing back KK makes sense
Feel like Varsho should be used as a backup Catcher.
It’s almost inevitable either KK or Jansen will go down for at least a month. If you could plug Varsho into either of those spots he’s a very valuable piece even if the bat sucks again.
