ToggleThe Diamondbacks were keen on the outfielder to make the trade.
Christmas came early for the #BlueJays who finally got the lefty power hitter on their wish list, acquiring Daulton Varsho from Arizona for Gabriel Moreno and Lourdes Gurriel Jr. https://t.co/amD6VVIhTW

Daulton Varsho is also excited about his new challenge.
On a media call, Daulton Varsho says he was surprised by trade but he was aware of the rumors this winter and his dad, former MLBer and current Pirates scout Gary Varsho, actually told him #BlueJays would be a good fit.
He said Atkins told him primarily LF/CF in 2023.— Scott Mitchell (@ScottyMitchTSN) December 24, 2022
But is he missing a good kick?
Possible TOR lineup:
RF Springer
S.S. Bichette
1B Vlad Jr.
L.F. Varsho
3B Chapman
C Kirk/Jansen
CF Kiemaier
2B Merrifield
DH????—Buster Olney (@Buster_ESPN) December 24, 2022
In any case, a starter #5 is missing.
And this, even if there are problems with his medical test.
He spent five years with the organization.
He was the PR of the club.
Best wishes to Blue Jays PR guru Rich Griffin, who is leaving the ball club.
Griff has been an institution around baseball in Canada. As good as they come in media relations. Proactive, passionate, tireless, a real understanding of what players/staff/media require. Pro’s pro. pic.twitter.com/g684WOjPKz
