I know nothing about Moreno, but in looking at the Twitter comments, Blue Jay fans seem quite high on him.

 

[Dback Jon]

NOOOOOOOO

Lourdes Gurriel is an excellent piece as well. Moreno top power catching prospect.

Here is the updated Top 100 Prospects list

It’s been a busy time in the Majors, Minors and baseball as a whole. We have been through a talent-filled Draft and a blockbuster Trade Deadline for the ages and are headed toward a stretch run with 18 teams within six games of a postseason spot. All the while, players

Moreno was the #7 ranked prospect in all of baseball in the mid season MLB.com rankings.

Pretty savage move by Hazen if he thinks Moreno has superstar potential but Varsho is a damn good player. McCarthy needs to prove last year wasn’t a fluke.

I really liked Varsho, but I understand the move. Moreno is 22 years old and matches the timeline of our top prospects. If everybody pans out, they will have a short cost-controlled window to make some noise before they all get paid big bucks elsewhere.

Wow on the Athletic the Blue Jays fans are in full meltdown.

I mean Moreno for Varsho alone is fair. Lourdes is probably our every day 3rd baseman.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Moreno was Keith Law's #5 prospect overall.

That guy never gets traded.

 

[unseenaz]

Hard to lose Varsho, who might be the best defensive outfielder in the league, AND has a good bat.

DBacks seemed to do well in the trade, though.

Jays would be smart to never start Varsho at catcher again.

They have Alejandro Kirk and his .370 obp at catcher and he is like 25.

Plus Danny Jansen. Varsho is only an OF for them.

However, they have Keirermeir too so Varsho may not even play CF

 

[Matt L]

Kieremeier is constantly hurt and can't really hit. I hope this works out but there are a lot of former top ten prospects that don't perform as well as Varsho has shown to produce.

revisit the goldy trade, or the dansby swanson trade sometime for fun

 

[Matt L]

I don't think we received a top 10 prospect for goldy.

we did give up a top guy in Swanson for for miller....

that said, is Swanson a top 5 middle infielder? is he even a top 20 position players on mlb?
