WINTER MEETINGS BULLETIN--Latos/McLouth

GM Adam Anson has released the following memo to fellow eMLB Owners and GM's.

The Squirrels are in full rebuilding mode for 2012, and are exploring what Mat Latos (3/13) might bring in a trade. Any trade that involves Latos would likely have to include Nate McLouth (3/12.) GM Anson only had this to say to his fellow GM's: "Latos has a nice contract, and just got traded to a team that should score him some runs. While bringing on McLouth would certainly negate some of Latos' value, McLouth is a strong rebound candidate headed back to Pittsburgh, and a sure fire starting gig."

It is likely that Anson would entertain offers on only Latos or only McLouth, but they seem to make a lot more sense as a package deal for a current contender, as Latos alone commands a decent price, while the overall price can be dropped significantly when taking two three year contracts from a rebuilding team.
