I think Yonder is gonna be pretty good man fuck I don't want him on the Padres

Good deal for both

RIP to Alonso's chance of hitting 30 homers.

Didn't think the Padres were planning to trade Latos

update:

The Reds have announced on their official Twitter feed that they've acquired Latos for Alonso, Volquez, Yasmani Grandal, and Brad Boxberger.

Bad deal for the Reds. Alonso and Grandal in a deal for a guy who is only an ace in San Diego?

 

[elcheato]

I like Latos but the Padres got a lot of value here.

 

[elcheato]

They have to be trading Rizzo now.. Alonso can't play LF in San Diego.

They sure gave up a lot, but they could use some good pitching, Latos will be that guy.

I agree that it's bad but Latos' almost as good a pitch away from San Diego

What are they gonna do with Rizzo or Blanks. They already have Rizzo at 1B and Yonder's not a very good defender in LF. Volquez sucked balls last year as well. Grandal could be a real good cathcer though.

Reds are making that push for the division and I dont blame them. They have a very good shot at it with the Cardinals losing Pujols and the Brewers losing Fielder and Braun is going to be out for a while. The Reds can really make a push for that division now.

 

[Giantmetfan07]

Rizzo's gonna get traded.

great haul for the padres

more teams should sell high

not awful awful for cincy, but that's quite a price to pay for latos. i understand he was going to cost a lot though

Latos, Cueto, and Chapman. Thats a very nice young rotation to build around.
