@jimcallisMLB: Most inexplicable trade ever. He'll be No. 4. @TJP_89: Where does Toussaint come in on the @Braves top 30? On Cloud 9 with this trade.

Don't forget about Arroyo folks! I know the headliner is Toussaint (rightfully so, I've been big on him since he came out and I saw him pitch live) but Arroyo will do one of two things for us:
1. Help us make a push for a playoff spot this year
2. Net us another prospect in a trade if he can prove he's healthy.
If we do fall from contention and he is trade bait (assuming he's proven to be healthy) he could net us a pretty good / very good prospect from a team needing starting pitching (Red Sox, Astros, Cards, Dodgers, etc)

Trust me, I looked at Keith Law's account to make absolute sure it was real.

Signing my first professional contract on my birthday in 2014 w/@Dbacks to now getting traded to the @Braves 2015. #LaFamilia.

Bronson Arroyo could decide he wants to pitch left-handed and this deal is still beyond incredible.
As did I. That is great.Trust me, I looked at Keith Law's account to make absolute sure it was real.

Touki Toussaint giveaway by @Dbacks to @Braves to dump $9.5 mil of Bronson Arroyo's salary is the most inexplicable trade I have ever seen.

braves have rebuilt farm system in 6 mnths, adding great pitching depth. toussaint essentially comes for $10M (arroyo pay)
Mark Bowman @mlbbowman 31s32 seconds ago
The #Braves believe Arroyo could begin pitching in August. But this deal was all about Toussaint

Holy. How in the hell did Hart pull this off? Seriously. I am absolutely speechless.
Arroyo could be huge down the stretch if he heals up and heck, great for a trade piece going forward. Just wow.
This is one of the best trades I could possibly think of, if this is all the details.
Touki has to be hurt right????
DBacks said they liked their pitching depth in the organization and he was expendable, this makes no sense.

That's as stupid as it gets.
Does anybody know of any good DBacks message boards? I could spend hours reading their responses.
Here.
This is beyond dumb, and i still dont think this is real.
@Dbacks: Stew: "With this year's draft we stacked our MiLB system with college guys" who are ahead of Touki Toussaint...

This is all i could find, to say DBacks dont like it would be an understatement.
