A little more than two years ago the Cincinnati Reds persuaded the Miami Marlins to trade five years of Anthony DeSclafani for one year of Mat Latos. Latos made 16 starts for Miami before he was dumped traded to the LA Dodgers. DeSclafani has earned 4.5+ WAR for the Reds in the intervening two seasons. At the time, a one-for-one trade didn’t seem fair … so the Marlins also sent catcher Chad Wallach to the Reds.
Against that backdrop, today the Reds traded Dan Straily to the Marlins for three minor league players – Luis Castillo, Austin Brice and Isaiah White.
