Nationals trade:
SP Kyle Zimmer (prospect)
Giants trade:
SP Mat Latos - $300,000 (2014)
It's tough to part with a prospect like Zimmer, but I also have Tallion. I'm trying to win this year and Latos certainly helps with that and I will definitely try to re-sign after the season. The reasoning for me is I'm getting (at least) a legit number two, if not a number one. This also allows me to be a little more active on the free agent market since Latos comes cheap this year.

I'm currently at the beginning of my rebuild so I'm trying to find future studs to pair with Fernandez, Walker, and Posey. I've known Zimmer for a bit and knowing him gives me the confidence that he will reach and dominate in the majors. Also helps that the Royals don't have much SP depth. Latos was going to cost me a real pretty penny to resign after '14 and not sure if the cost would be worth it.
All in all, I'm trying to build a stud cost controlled rotation to allow me to build my lineup and a chance at a rotation headlined by Fernandez, Walker, Zimmer, and Sims was to much to pass by.
