Arizona will receive top catching prospect Gabriel Moreno along with Lourdes Gurriel in return.</p><p>Moreno is a coveted young catcher with plenty of offensive potential. Gurriel can play a multitude of positions and features a fairly high ceiling. As for Varsho, he is also versatile given his ability to catch and play the outfield.</p><p>The Blue Jays are looking to compete in the competitive American League East. However, the New York Yankees have made a number of key moves which have many projecting them to win the division once again. Meanwhile, the Tampa Bay Rays are still a quality team, while the Red Sox and Orioles cannot be counted out.</p><p>But Toronto has made a number of moves as of late to bolster the roster, including <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/chris-bassitt-agrees-to-63-million-deal-with-blue-jays" rel="noopener">signing SP Chris Bassitt</a> and OF <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/blue-jays-news-toronto-kevin-kiermaier-in-agreement-on-contract" rel="noopener">Kevin Kiermaier</a>.</p><p>The Blue Jays also had no shortage of catchers on the roster. And with many teams seeking catching help, Toronto found themselves in the driver’s seat on the trade market as a result. Surrendering Gabriel Moreno was likely not an easy decision. The same can be said for Gurriel. But Daulton Varsho is player that will help this Blue Jays team.</p><p>Despite slashing just .235/.302/.443 in 2022, Varsho clubbed 27 home runs and stole 16 bases. He is a speed/power threat who could turn into an All-Star if he gets on base in more consistent fashion. It will be interesting to see how this trade pans out in the long run.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

MLB.com’s <a href="https://www.mlb.com/prospects">seventh-best prospect</a> and Toronto’s best overall prospect has played with the Blue Jays but was not extremely productive. After being sent back to the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons, he continued raking and recorded a once-in-a-lifetime hit.</p><p>Moreno showed off his unreal hitting by smacking a ball into the wall. Not over it or off it, but into it. The fielder couldn’t even pull it out as Moreno got credited for a double on the insane hit.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Gabriel Moreno doubles INTO the wall!</p><p>The top <a href="https://twitter.com/BlueJays?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@BlueJays</a> prospect rips one 111 mph off the bat for the <a href="https://twitter.com/BuffaloBisons?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@BuffaloBisons</a>, and the ball finds a home in the padding. <a href="https://t.co/f4FWcQN1kb">pic.twitter.com/f4FWcQN1kb</a></p><p>— MLB Pipeline (@MLBPipeline) <a href="https://twitter.com/MLBPipeline/status/1560099611305443329?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 18, 2022</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>With the Bisons, the 22-year-old Moreno has a slash line of .301/.370/.398, 59 hits, 13 doubles and two home runs in 52 games. His hitting abilities make him a very valuable catcher, though he still has to prove himself in the majors.</p><p>In 18 games at the big leagues this season, Moreno is slashing .276/.300/.293 with 16 hits, seven strikeouts and two walks. He last played with Toronto on July 10. It seems like his time in MLB is over this season, though he is making the case to get called up yet again.</p><p>Moreno’s path to becoming a key player for the Blue Jays is tough given that Toronto has an All-Star catcher in Alejandro Kirk. However, they could alternate the catchers behind the plate and in the designated hitter spot. With <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/blue-jays-2-post-mlb-trade-deadline-moves-toronto-must-make/">other prospects</a> the Blue Jays could promote clogging the lane, Gabriel Moreno has a tough path back to the majors. But if his power hitting becomes legit, Toronto will have no choice.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
