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.

Years of control, prime age, elite defense. Gabe Moreno's value will likely never be higher, and there is a suspicious lack of power with Moreno, which is being nit picky but it is true.
Sucks to see Gurriel Jr go as I loved his personality.
Agree with those mentioning a significant culture shift.
