    Braves acquire SP Trevor Cahill from ARI for OF Josh Elander

    Please let Chris Johnson be going the other way . . .

    @Gambo987
    Dbacks in talks with the Atlanta Braves on a trade for Trevor Cahill.

    @Gambo987
    Dbacks will eat about half of Cahill's $12 million contract and get prospects back in trade with Braves.

    I was watching the White Sox/Diamondbacks game on MLB Network and Steve Stone mentioned Cahill being possibly traded. Had a feeling the Braves might be in the discussions.

    I'm seriously starting to wonder if Hart knows what year it is.

    Is Cahill still a ground ball pitcher? If so I think the move from Arizona to Atlanta would help him.

    I mean...I'd take him. But I wouldn't give much for him if that makes sense.

    The #Braves are not comfortable placing two similar lefties (Wandy and Stults) back-to-back in their rotation.

    Why pay 6 million plus prospects for him? The only way I want him is if they're taking someone like CJ off our hands.

    He's had an ERA+ over 100 twice in his career and it was 67 last year.....He is owed 12 million, even if AZ picks up 6 mil we will owe him 6 + prospects. It's dumb

    If they don't want two lefties in the rotation then put Stults in the bullpen (he has no issue doing that) and Martin in the rotation. Problem solved, 6 million + prospects saved!

    I am losing all confidence in Hart and co.

    Only way it makes any sense is if MBJ or CJ go to AZ, which isn't likely.

    No kidding, plus waste another six million in the process that could be used better!

    Yes, this is the reason we'd struggle to win an Eric Stults start.

    Cahill is an interesting reclamation project -- but not at $6MM + prospects.

    Agreed, and there's no way the Braves will pay that price. DBacks really have minimal leverage. I'm not at all impressed with Dave Stewart as a GM so far.
