It’s a loss because of other things the assets could have got us. Not because of what we lost. Moreno is not better now than either of our catchers and Gurriel is what he is. And the all star holds little weight to me Espinal was one last year after all. I don’t think the team has handled Varsho very well. Out of spring training they were putting him in the cleanup spot which I think was a big mistake.
And sorry also just way too early to call this a loss. Last year people here declared Berrios a failure and that Kikuchi was a total bust and should be DFAd. This year they’re our number 2-3 starters and are pitching excellently. Give Varsho an offseason to settle on and I expect him to be much better next year. Also still much better than Vlad.
