Reds acquired RHP Mat Latos from the Padres for 1B Yonder Alonso, RHPs Edinson Volquez and Brad Boxberger and C Yasmani Grandal. The Reds paid a massive price, but they now have an ace to lead their rotation also set to include Johnny Cueto, Bronson Arroyo, Homer Bailey and either Mike Leake, Aroldis Chapman or Travis Wood. Latos, 24, has a 3.37 ERA over his first 72 starts in the big leagues, averaging 8.7 K/9 and 2.8 BB/9. Great American Ballpark is a much different environment for pitchers than cozy PETCO Park, but the young right-hander has a 3.11 career ERA at home compared to a 3.57 ERA on the road. He'll make close to the minimum next year and he's four years away from free agency, so he's a very valuable property.
