The Los Angeles Dodgers acquired right-handed starting pitcher Mat Latos and first baseman/outfielder Mike Morse from the Miami Marlins for prospects, according to multiple reports Wednesday.

Morse, who is signed through 2016, is hitting .214 with four home runs and 12 RBIs in 52 games. He will join his fifth team in the last three seasons. He is making $7.5 million this year and will earn $8.5 million next year.
