The prospects heading back to Miami now aren’t known, aside from “three minor league players”, though ESPN’s Keith Law doesn’t expect anyone significant involved.

“Latos is in the midst of a weird year, where his 4.48 ERA isn’t reflective of how he’s been pitching, as the 6’6″ righty is sporting a spectacular 3.34 FIP.

This move appears to be a mere rental, as Latos is set to become a free agent after the season.

For Latos and the Dodgers, it’s a promising sign that he’s trending upward as the season progresses. After a rough start to the season he’s turned things around with a 2.96 ERA and 43/9 K/BB ratio in his last seven starts. He is making $7.5 million this year and will earn $8.5 million next year.

The Dodgers starting rotation just got a whole lot better. The Dodgers will also receive comp pick #34, the second consecutive season the Marlins threw their comp pick into a trade package. Miami has other players they’re shopping, most notably Dan Haren, but received the young prospects their farm system needed to begin yet another rebuild. They also have a full bench as far as bats go, especially when Morse is hitting all of.214/.277/.314 this season.

It marks the third straight year the Marlins have traded their Competitive Balance pick, the only draft picks that can be traded. For all we know, though, the Dodgers might just be absorbing Morse from the Marlins in order to keep the Fish from paying for the rest of his deal.

As to what the Dodgers plan to do with Morse it is uncertain. After helping the Giants to a World Series victory last season, he has struggled mightily (.592 OPS) in 2015.

He is. You can talk all you want about setting up the rotation for the playoffs, and maybe the Dodgers should be running away with the National League West, but for now, every game counts.
