Well, this is fun.

#Braves lefty Alex Wood would go to #Dodgers if three-team deal with #Marlins is completed, sources tell me and @jonmorosi.

#Braves reliever Jim Johnson also would go to #Dodgers, sources tell me and @jonmorosi. Morse and compensation pick would go to #Braves.

So instead of this morning’s “Dodgers buy Mat Latos and a pick” deal, this actually looks to be Dodgers give up as-yet-unnamed talent for Alex Wood, Mat Latos, and Jim Johnson, thus solving their pitching problems in one fell swoop. And while there’s no question that the Braves are going to get a significant return for the Wood/Johnson package, this will almost certainly be a cheaper alternative to the big-name guys the Dodgers have rumored to be in on; with Wood and Latos joining Brett Anderson at the back of the rotation, you’d have to think this would take the Dodgers out of the running for David Price or Cole Hamels.

I’ll say this for the new front offices in both LA and Atlanta; they certainly aren’t boring.
