Mat Latos gets traded to the Cincinnati Reds

The Reds had to give away four good players to make Mat Latos a part of their baseball team. Two of the four were first round draft picks, Yonder Alonso and Yasmani Grandal, and they also had to trade Edinson Volquez to the Padres.

This trade made no sense for the Reds. The stadium that the Reds play in is regarded as one of the best hitter's park in baseball. That's why acquiring a pitcher and trading away hitters isn't a good deal for the Reds. Their rotation is a good one and they have five pitchers with no obvious weaknesses and can all win your club a baseball game on any given night, but unfortunately, they play in the Great American Ballpark.

Mat Latos is the newest member of the Reds.
