Atkins: Blue Jays "Definitely Have Interest" in Extending Daulton Varsho

I'm alright signing Varsho to a Kirk like extension. I think that is fair value and he likely would accept it. 

As for trades, probably the Royals are the best trading partners like some other posters have mentioned since they need a CF badly.

Varsho and his .222/.290 projection isn't landing a TOR pitcher anyway 

Only thing I can even think of is the Royals, for Kris Boob Itch. They have Isbel as their CF and he's basically Myles Straw. 

Yes, but...

If the Jays are trading Varsho (don't think they will), then they'd have to have someone a lot better than Straw in CF. If Lukes could play a passable CF then that would make more sense, or maybe try for a follow up trade for Buxton (he has a NTC so probably not likely). If Varsho is a Boras guy then they might be better off just using him in 2026, hoping for a big year, and then qualifying him after the season. Who knows what the new CBA will be after that.

Daulton Varsho is 5'8" and 207 lbs

I agree that he should be extended 

Maybe some kind of leg implant procedure could bring him up to 5'11"? He'd lose some athleticism but he'd look better in pictures 

There is a procedure in theory whereby the bones of the leg are severed with a saw and the resulting healing adds about a millemeter to ones height each time.  There is hope for ole pigeon toes with enough successful operations.
