Latos never really worked out for the Dodgers. He was expected to be in the rotation for the playoffs but his struggles pushed him out of the rotation.
The Dodgers pushed him into the bullpen and that didn’t work either. They designated him for assignment to make room for Carlos Frias and now they don’t have a need for Latos at all.
On July 30 we wrote the following on the acquisition of Latos:
“The Los Angeles Dodgers have officially finalized a deal which brings Mat Latos from the Miami Marlins, and Alex Woods from the Atlanta Braves to LA.
The deal that took 24 hours to complete also includes Michael Morse from the Marlins, Jose Peraza and Jim Johnson, Luis Avilan and Bronson Arroyo from the Braves.
Unfortunately for the Dodgers, the player that they spent months trying to acquire, the Cuban prodegy, Hector Olivera will be sent to ATL.”
As more information surfaces on the Dodgers we will keep you updated.
