TORONTO TRADES FOR VARSHO
The Toronto Blue Jays acquired outfielder/catcher Daulton Varsho from the Arizona Diamondbacks for catcher Gabriel Moreno and outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr.
What does it give the Toronto Blue Jays
The Blue Jays get one of the most versatile players in baseball, as Varsho can play any outfield position as well as catcher! The left-handed batter is likely to play mostly left field in Toronto, where he would replace Gurriel Jr.
What does it give the Arizona Diamondbacks
Moreno is a top catching prospect who could become a mainstay behind the plate in Arizona as early as 2023. Gurriel Jr. is likely to replace Varsho as a regular outfielder with the Diamondbacks. He is a solid addition.
Fantasy impact
All three players involved in this trade should see their fantasy value rise with their new teams. Varsho, Moreno and Gurriel Jr. are all solid draft options for 2023 in virtually all leagues. Moreno, in particular, is now a fantastic draft option in keeper formats.
