The injury bug smacked hard during spring training. The Yankees are still short on lefty bats and now have worrisome pitching depth.
Daulton Varsho. The Blue Jays had 351 fewer left-handed plate appearances than any team last season. Their overall outfield had a negative Runs Against Average. Trading with Arizona for the left fielder Varsho and signing free agent Kevin Kiermaier not only brought two lefty bats to the lineup, but also supplied Toronto with two high-end defenders. That will allow George Springer to move from center to right, where he should be better. Toronto also signed lefty-swinging Brandon Belt to DH.
Jose Berrios was 12-7 last season with a 5.23 ERA and 149 strikeouts in his first season with the Blue Jays.Ricky Tiedemann. Toronto traded arguably its top prospect, catcher Gabriel Moreno, as the key to land Varsho. The Blue Jays have uneasy rotation depth with Berrios, Yusei Kikuchi and Mitch White handling the Nos. 4-5 spots.
Depth. Toronto addressed its lefty-hitting and defensive shortage, but with a couple of players who are physical red flags. Kikuchi and reliever Tim Mayza are the only two lefties on the staff. A few trades have thinned the farm system.The AL East is deep and, thus, volatile. At least three teams can win it, and the Orioles and Red Sox are wild cards to barge into the conversation. The Blue Jays’ lineup top three of Springer, Bo Bichette and Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
Will Warren. With all the interest and hype surrounding Jasson Dominguez, Oswald Peraza and Anthony Volpe, it feels like we know them all already. The Yankees have used their upper-level pitching prospects heavily in trades in recent years. For depth in 2023, they will need others to step up. Warren is a right-hander who has steadily risen in prestige and in trade requests.
