The Dodgers, Marlins and Braves have swung one of the most complex three-team trades in recent history. The “basic” structure of the deal (though there’s nothing basic about this move) is as follows: the Dodgers will receive right-handerMat Latos*and first baseman*Michael Morsefrom the Marlins. They’ll also add top prospectJose Peraza*and pitchers*Alex Wood,*Bronson Arroyo,*Jim Johnson*and*Luis Avilan*from the Braves. Atlanta, in turn, will receive infielderHector Olivera, lefty*Paco Rodriguez*and minor leaguer*Zachary Bird*from the Dodgers. The Braves are also picking up Miami’s Competitive Balance Round A pick in next year’s draft (No. 35 overall). The Marlins will come out of this deal with three minor league pitchers —*Kevin Guzman,*Jeff Brigham*and*Victor Araujo*— plus the financial relief of shedding the remaining $14.3MM that is owed to Latos and Morse. Each team has announced the trade’s completion.
