Latos Tolerant

The Marlins finally managed to deal Mat Latos and Mike Morse:

Here’s what was reported by CBS Sports Baseball Insider Jon Heyman and others:

Dodgers receive: Latos and Morse from the Marlins, plus pitchers Alex Wood, Jim Johnson, Luis Avilan and Bronson Arroyo, along with infield prospect Jose Peraza from the Braves.

Braves receive: Infield prospect Hector Olivera, minor-league pitcher Zachary Bird, and major-league lefty Paco Rodriguez. They also get a competitive balance draft pick from the Marlins.

Marlins receive: Three minor-league pitchers from the Dodgers — right-handers Jeff Brigham, Victor Araujo and Kevin Guzman.

The article does a very good job of sorting out what it all means for the three teams. It may not improve the Dodgers much if Clayton Kershaw is hurt more than just missing a start. Arroyo has now been traded twice while he occupied the disabled list. I wonder if he holds the record for most rosters occupied in a season without playing!
