holy smokes the strike zone is trash lol would love to see the umpire report asap

[Raps in 4]

Varsho haters in absolute shambles. But not me. I've been stanning the trade from day 1!

Spoiler:

I'll gladly eat crow if Varsho can put together a productive season lol

The trade was always a good one though it becomes completely obvious that is the case with even decent offensive years by Varsho and Kirk (which both are fully capable of).

It really wasn't a great trade if last year was the barometer. Moreno had a better season than Varsho, while also being 4 years younger. Varsho would need to significantly outproduce Moreno for the trade to be a win for us. If they continue to produce at a similar level (or if Moreno leapfrogs him), Arizona won the trade.

thanks god we are scoring runs outside of Turner's off day at the plate.

Wait - was Kirk in the deal?

I thought the trade was Moreno and Gurriel for Varsho?

Excited to see Swanson today.

He wasn't. Kirk is just the catcher we decided to keep. He has no bearing on this trade being a win or loss for us.

I'm not in shambles. I'm still not a fan of the trade and I think we gave up too much to get Varsho. It's early in the season. Varsho hitting 2 HRs in one game doesn't change my mind. Let's see how the course of the season pans out.

[WuTang_OG]

Varsho fielding is a thing of beauty

its because we could have moved Kirk instead i guess. and Moreno plays the same position. .. i guess

FIFY

[Madvillainy2004]

Soto is absolutely incredible throw the Ohtani money at him if we still have it lol

[Hottie McShotty]

who was Soto staring down at the Blue Jays dugout as we has rounding 3rd base? did anyone see that?

[bluerap23]

Damn Soto would have been so good on this team

The Jays have 2 better catchers than Moreno (including one that is basically his age) and got the best defensive player in baseball out of the deal. Long-term was always gonna be the issue with it, but unless Moreno somehow learns to hit for any power (which doesn’t appear likely), I’m not too worried about this one long-term either.

The Jays were very clearly betting on Kirk (as opposed to Moreno) in making the deal, so yes, his production going forward is extremely relevant to evaluating the deal.

[LBJKB24MJ23]

welcome back Swans...... wtf

[Madvillainy2004]

That was demolished lol

[Randle McMurphy]

lol at just dropping these rehab RPs into the highest leverage save situations and expecting it to just work out
