The Miami Marlins traded starting pitcher Mat Latos to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. Latos, outfielder Michael Morse and a top-40 draft pick will head to the Dodgers in exchange for three pitching prospects. The 27-year-old, who was traded from the Cincinnati Reds to the Marlins this past offseason, was off to a rough start but has righted the ship of late with a 2.96 ERA and a 43:9 K:BB ratio in his last seven starts. Latos will upgrade the Dodgers' rotation, which is relatively thin behind aces Clayton Kershaw and Zack Greinke. The seven-year veteran is making an affordable $3.5 million in what is the final year of his contract, and will become an unrestricted free agent following the season. Latos was next scheduled to start Saturday but it is unclear when he will make his team debut.
