Daulton Varsho makes new career announcement ahead of Spring Training

He is no longer just a trade piece; he is a pillar of this team.

The Blue Jays center fielder announced a new partnership with Franklin Sports this week, revealing his own line of custom batting gloves that fans can actually buy.

It might seem like a small detail, but in the baseball world, getting your own custom gear line is a status symbol.

It says you have arrived.

Varsho (Drafted 2nd Round, 2017 by Arizona) has quietly become one of the most indispensable players on this roster.

Despite battling injuries in 2025, he still mashed 20 home runs and posted an .833 OPS in just 71 games.

That is elite production from a guy who also happens to be arguably the best defensive outfielder on the planet.

His 2024 Gold Glove wasn't a fluke; it was a warning to the rest of the league.

He saves runs with his glove and creates them with his bat, a rare dual-threat that every championship team needs.

We talk a lot about Vladdy’s bat or Gausman’s splitter, but Varsho’s defense is the safety net for this entire pitching staff.

When he is patrolling center field, balls that should be doubles turn into outs.

Now, with a new contract in hand ($10.75M for 2026) and his own brand growing, he looks more comfortable than ever in Toronto.

"Ready Before First Pitch," his Instagram post read, showing off the new gloves.

That is the mindset we need.

He is entering his prime, he is healthy, and he is clearly embracing his role as a leader in this city.

Seeing kids wearing "Varsho" batting gloves at the Rogers Centre this summer is going to be a cool moment.

It is proof that the trade—painful as it was to lose Gabby Moreno—brought us a legitimate star who loves being a Blue Jay.
