Whenever the Jays and DBacks meet it&#8217;s a chance to revisit the 2022 trade that sent Daulton Varsho to the Blue Jays in exchange for top catching prospect Gabriel Moreno and Lourdes Gurriel Jr, the trade somewhat of a wash so far with each team making a World Series appearance but falling short.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTHIS is what we do.
