It doesn't need to be "monumental" improvement though.
The guy had a 106 wRC+ last season while providing gold glove level defense. Shift banning might be enough for him to get ~115 wRC+, which would be fantastic.
His 4.6 fWAR was more than Teo and Gurriel provided combined last season.
And he's in his prime and under control for 4 more years.
And he can catch in an emergency.
And we still have both Kirk and Jansen.
As a Jays fan I'm pretty thrilled. Sucks to lose Moreno, but you have to give to get.
