Blue Jays manager John Gibbons discusses the club signing pitcher Mat Latos and how adding depth is important to the teamDUNEDIN, Fla. -- Right-hander Mat Latos, one of the most intriguing arms in camp, will pitch when the Blue Jays play their Grapefruit League home opener Sunday against the Phillies at Florida Auto Exchange Stadium, manager John Gibbons said Thursday.
Latos was signed to a Minor League contract just a week ago. With the Padres and Reds from 2009-14, he went 60-45 with a 3.34 ERA and a 1.168 WHIP. He's still just 29, but he has battled injuries and ineffectiveness the last two seasons with the Marlins, Dodgers, Angels, White Sox and Nationals.
