CYmarlins Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 With Latos gone now, I would love to see how the Marlins fix the rotation. A lot of holes for 2016. Fernandez and Koehler seem to be a lock right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 They should really move Haren by Friday and not wait until August. That would just be stupid. Good chance he's gone by Friday. There's nothing imminent like this one was but there's 3 in the works. Haren is a pro but he also would prefer to go to a contender now.

Hotcorner Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I mean good that they found someone to take Morse but Latos was our best chance to get a decent prospect back and now that's gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Dodgers wanted Haren instead of Latos but balked because we refused to send back money with him. They don't need money but out of principle, they didn't want to pay him essentially twice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FutureGM Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 The trading off of these comp picks is just giving ammunition to those people who don't want to make draft pics tradeable like in other sports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point they really need to trade ozuna for some pitching and sign Upton + 1 or 2 SPs at minimum for 2016 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pollythewog Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 So it may actually be more than one pick? Lol? The Dodgers were known to be in the market for starting pitching, and this morning, it looks like they’ve added an arm to their rotation. Latos always seemed what likely to land with an analytically-inclined club, given his mediocre ERA but solid FIP/xFIP numbers, and his reputation for being a bit of an issue in the clubhouse, so perhaps we should have anticipated LA as a likely destination. What this means for the team’s reported pursuit of Cole Hamelsremains to be seen, but the Dodgers probably shouldn’t stop trying to acquire another pitcher, given Brett Anderson‘s health track record. Morse being included in the deal doesn’t make sense from a baseball perspective, given that the Dodgers already have a strong bench that includes a bunch of guys who are better than him, but keep in mind that the Dodgers have been aggressively using their financial resources to buy prospects, and I’d guess that this is just more of that trend continuing; rather than giving up talent to get Latos, perhaps the Dodgers convinced the Marlins to take a nothing return if LA took the remainder of Morse’s contract, which has $3 million left this year and $8 million next year. In fact, Wittenmyer’s report makes it sound like the Dodgers are actually the ones potentially getting prospects here, with the “at least one competitive balance pick” comment. If the Dodgers are getting multiple picks back with Latos, then adding Morse’s salary might simply be the cost they were willing to pay to do so. And of course, the Marlins seem to be continually more interested in cost reductions than putting a good team on the field, so this would fit their M.O. perfectly.
