Source: Dodgers land Mat Latos, Michael Morse in trade with Marlins
The Marlins have agreed to trade pitcher Mat Latos and first baseman Michael Morse to the Dodgers for three minor league pitchers, a source confirmed to ESPNLosAngeles.com's Mark Saxon.
The Dodgers also will receive a competitive balance pick -- the No. 34 overall selection in next year's draft -- from the Marlins as part of the trade, according to the Miami Herald.
Los Angeles will assume all of the remainder of both players' salaries, according to reports. Latos is making $9.5 million this season and is scheduled to be a free agent in 2016, while Morse is in the first year of a two-year, $16 million contract.
Latos would provide Los Angeles with a veteran No. 3 starter behind All-Stars Clayton Kershaw and Zack Greinke and also should fortify a Dodgers rotation that has been ravaged by injuries.

Latos is 4-7 this year with a 4.48 ERA. In his last 7 starts he's 3-3 / 2.96, so he's been pitching better of late. Morse is hitting .214 in 159 at bats.

Whoo-hoo. Can't wait for Football to start
The only thing we've got to look forward to is Jose Fernandez every 5th game . . . oh and if Stanton ever comes back. I miss his Monster Dongs!
