Latos agreed to sign a minor league deal with the Blue Jays that includes an invite to major league camp, John Lott of The Athletic Toronto reports. Latos will earn $1 million if he makes the team and can add $500,000 in incentives.
EDGE Analysis
Inconsistent health, velocity and command have plagued Latos' career, which started out promising but has sunk in the last two years, during which he's spent more time in the bullpen. He could occupy a similar role with Toronto, serving as the top backup plan should this deep rotation need a fill-in. Moving to the AL East and a typically hitter-favorable home park would diminish any excitement, but working with adept catcher Russell Martin could help him get back on track. AL-only fantasy players can take a cheap dice roll on Latos in case he breaks camp, which is a sound bet.
