Red Sox sign Justin Masterson, Marlins trade for Mat Latos

The Cincinnati Reds have reportedly traded pitcher Mat Latos to the Miami Marlins for Chad Wallach and Anthony DeSclafini, according to folks on Twitter.

Wallach was a 5th rounder from 2013, a catcher who spent 2014 in A ball.  DeSclafini is a lefthanded 24 year old pitcher who the Marlins acquired in the big trade that sent Mark Buehrle and Jose Reyes to Toronto.

Meanwhile, Justin Masterson, a free agent pitcher the Rangers had interest in, has reportedly signed with the Red Sox.

While Masterson was an interesting bounceback candidate, Latos was the player I had, for some time, identified as a player the Rangers should have interest in and that would be a quality target.  It looks like both of those players are now off the board.
