Latos traded to Reds

[SeattleSports]

Yonder Alonso is one of the guys in the deal

Details coming out now

 

[SeattleSports]

Hopefully it's a 3 team deal, why do the Padres focus on Alonzo when they have Rizzo?

Maybe he plays outfield?

Volquez is headed to San Diego as well

 

[Superfractor]

"Reds acquire SD’s Mat Latos for Yonder Alonso, Brad Boxberger, Yasmani Grandal and Edinson Volquez."

 

[Seiya]

Padres also get grandal and boxberger. I hate the trade but the return is good. Should be able to flip Alonso for an arm

 

[notjomommasclint]

latos is good but thats a pretty penny to pay...

What in the hell are the Reds doing? THat is a HUGE haul for Latos. I would have thought without hesitation that they wouldn't have ever does this dea.

Reds must feel the Central is wide open and this is their shot and going for it.

skrip

Reds overpaid by a ton for that headcase! Can't wait to see him get even more exposed.

The Padres committed highway robbery

 

[markakis8]

If I'm the Padres I flip Yonder or Grandal to a team that needs a quality bat - maybe the Rays - for a couple more prospects.

I'd flip Yonder for Davis and Beckham.

not a bad idea at all.

 

[SeattleSports]

Sounds like the Padres are more likely to move Rizzo than Alonso.

I'd take him in Seattle.

If the Reds thought Alonso could play outfield, they would not have traded him.

Biased at bit?

 

[hail2thevictors]

What a horrendous deal for the Reds. What on earth are they thinking?

Latos isn't exactly the first guy I would target if I were the Reds-and they overpaid +2000 to get him. Wowzer, this is just a really, really bad trade. The pieces they gave up could have gotten them much more.

 

[That's Crucial]

One of the worst trades of all time. I have no skin in the game

I hate Latos but that is massive overpayment, makes me wonder how much Price, Cain or even Gio Gonzalez could fetch on the trade market.

 

[hoopster3977]

I'm waiting on a couple of Latos Marquee redemptions. One Musemum /10, and another base auto. Not liking this especially when I have quite a stach of Grandal auto's.

Maybe Robbie Erlin gets a shot durning spring training.
