The Miami Marlins agreed to send SS Jose Reyes, SPs Josh Johnson and Mark Buehrle, OF Emilio Bonifacio and C John Buck to the Toronto Blue Jays Tuesday, Nov. 13, in exchange for SS Yunel Escobar, 2B Adeiny Hechavarria, SP Henderson Alvarez, SP Justin Nicolino, OF Jake Marisnick, C Jeff Mathis and RP Anthony DeSclafini. However, the trade isn't yet official.

Harsher winter, league

That won't stop me from assessing it. First, Toronto's haul: Reyes and Johnson's typical health risks loom over their elite skills. The move to a hitter-friendly environment helps Reyes and hurts Johnson. He may wind up as a decent mixed value because of the stigma caused by the AL move, but there's palpable justification to knock down his expectations a little. Expecting something close to his 2012 K/9 of 7.76 and ERA of 3.81 ERA is a good start.

Bonifacio's swipes-fueled value moves to the Junior Circuit, with a smidge of added offensive potential. Buehrle's innings-eating style survived U.S. Cellular Field as his home park for all but one season in his career, so he's adept at maneuvering around such ambiences. Still, he's a boring run-support-dependent, mixed back-end commodity with little upside. Though Buck will leave the yard a few more times, his combo of pop and crippling clip keeps him as a sometimes-helpful second mixed backstop.

The Marlins didn't get much back in terms of 2013 fantasy allure. Escobar's middling across-the-board offerings and Hechavarria's glove-first profile shouldn't be pursued in dual-universe drafts, maybe Escobar more so if cavernous players are desperate. Alvarez boasts interesting components and makes the favorable league switch that might add some mono-league worth, but he's a contact-first hurler. Until he extracts more K's from his stuff - a 2013 possibility - he's a wait-and-see type in mixed setups.

Miami's new pair of touted 21-year-old prospects will probably debut in 2014, with a miniscule chance at 2013. Marisnick, a notable five-tool prospect, and Nicolino, a grounder- and K-friendly southpaw, can be tucked away in NL-only redrafts but are better suited as attractive dynasty fodder.

There's no reason to tuck DeSclafani away right now, and Mathis remains a scrub that takes up space in two-catcher NL-only setups.
