The Reds traded away both Alfredo Simon and Mat Latos today. Latos was traded to the Marlins for Chad Wallach and Anthony DeSclafini. Latos is a top end starter who had a down year last season posting a 0.9 WAR after earning a total of 8.1 wins above replacement in 2012 and '13. The Marlins will look for him to bounce back in their solid rotation that currently has 8 men, and looks like it would be as follows for 2015:
- Jose Fernandez WAR: '14: 1.1 '13: 6.3
- Henderson Alvarez WAR: '14: 4.6 '13: 1.9
- Mat Latos WAR: '14: 0.9 '13: 3.8
- Nathan Eovaldi WAR: '14: 0.2 '13: 2.2
- Tom Koehler WAR: '14: 2.5 '13: 0.8
- Jarred Cosart WAR: '14: 2.6 '13: 2.6
- Dan Haren WAR: '14: -0.6 '13: 0.0
- Brad Hand WAR: '14: 0.5 '13: 0.4
