Moreno has 0.9 fWAR and wouldn't have been an improvement on Kirk or Jansen who have 1.0 fWAR and 1.5 fWAR respectively.
So anyone thinking that trade was a loss needs to rethink things.

I don’t think it’s that it’s a loss this year based on total performance - The Jays actually have done a really good job identifying guys in the minors in their system who were “overrated” and dealing them
But it’s the return we should have expected for the #2 prospect in baseball that is the problem . Varsho was suppose to be a .250 hitter with between 25-30 HRs in Rogers and with the shift banned
