"Daulton Varsho, acquired in the trade that sent then-top prospect Gabriel Moreno and Lourdes Gurriel Jr. to the Diamondbacks, was coming off a season where he slashed .235/.302/.443 with 27 home runs in 592 plate appearances for a 106 wRC+."
"In 2023, Varsho slashed .220/.285/.389 with 20 home runs in 581 plate appearances for an 84 wRC+. He was robbed of a Gold Glove, despite finishing with 27 DRS and 9 OAA."
"Varsho finally won the Gold Glove in 2024, posting 28 DRS, 14 OAA, and 15 Fielding Run Value in 1,085.1 innings in the outfield, showcasing his elite defensive skills."
"Thanks to a strong April and August, Varsho's bat was around league average in 2024, finishing the season with a 99 wRC+, although his batting average dropped to .214."
The Toronto Blue Jays re-signed two core players early in 2025, marking only their fourth extension since 2015/16. Daulton Varsho, acquired in a trade, has shown exceptional defensive skills, winning a Gold Glove in 2024. Despite a decline in batting performance in 2023, Varsho's defense remained elite. His overall performance improved in 2024, making him a key player for the team. With several players set to become free agents, Varsho's extension is a priority for the Blue Jays as they prepare for the 2026 season.
