Not like BP has been that great recently, since they lost most of their writers, like Jason Parkes, and goofs like Bret Sayre are running the show. Fangraphs is pretty good with Longenhagen and McDaniel was excellent. MLB.com is great considering for free content as well.
What reports?
Twins wanted De Leon, Alvarez/Buehler and some lower level flyers. Dodgers didn't want to give up more than De Leon and lower level flyers.

Terrible according to BP. Sandwiched between Juan Centeno, Wellington Castillo, Carlos Ruiz, Kurt Suzuki and Robinson Chirinos last year. Same thing in 2015.
He's also underselling Valbuena because Steamer only projects him for 228 PA right now. 0.9 WAR/600. I think most people would take the over on the 97 wRC+, 310 wOBA projection too.
And... with projections.
LF Mallex Smith .297 wOBA
CF Kevin Kiermaier .317 wOBA
RF Colby Rasmus .302 wOBA
3B Evan Longoria .332 wOBA
SS Matt Duffy .309 wOBA
2B Nick Franklin .302 wOBA
1B Brad Miller .328 wOBA
C Wilson Ramos .308 wOBA
Fangraphs has them at 82 wins. 21st ranked in runs scored (on par with the White Sox and Mets) and 9th ranked in runs against (on par with the Red Sox and Cardinals).
Greg (Tallahassee): I keep thinking Florida is higher than it should be in all these rankings. I get that the rotation and the lineup should be solid, but there are essentially zero returners in the bullpen who have thrown any significant innings. What am I missing?
Teddy Cahill: I really, really like this Florida team. If the rotation and lineup are as good as they should be, that lessens the pressure on the bullpen. This rotation has a chance to be better than last year’s, as hard as that may be to believe given that Logan Shore and A.J. Puk have moved on to pro ball. Alex Faedo and Brady Singer could be the No. 1 overall pick in each of the next two years

Teddy Cahill has Brady Singer as a potential 1-1 candidate in 2018. That's the Seth Beer draft so probably not going to happen.
I'll miss seeing Yordano pitch. His small stature and electric fastball was fun to watch. Wish I could have seen him live when I was in KC in 2015 but he wasn't scheduled to pitch in that series.
RIP

I'm looking at BP, not statcorner.
In either case. He's a bad receiver which carries negative value. He has a noodle arm which also carries negative value (though not as much). And he's a below average hitter. He's not a good player. If we are looking for a backup catcher who can't hit, may as well get one who is good at defense. Suzuki is good at neither.
