One source said the #Braves will be responsible for $5.5M of Cahill's $12M salary.

Where's the comp pick?

You forgot to mention TJ in your other post. It's extra funny after the 75th time.

Then your gonna love the 96th time.

The Braves would be paying a little under $6MM of Cahill’s salary in 2015, and they would also obtain a compensation round draft pick in return. Via last summer’s competitive balance lottery,

skillet, what is the source on this?

I think this will be a common theme among D'Back fans:

@9Richard19

TREVOR CAHILL IS GONE!

DONT EVER LET SOMEONE TELL YOU DREAMS CANT CONE TRUE!

PS: D'Back fans wanted him gone so bad a number of them were offering to pay for a limo to drive him to the airport.

One man's trash is another man's treasure, right?

I know some will always complain but there is absolutely nothing negative about this trade. Solid move.

Cripes, he looks like a really ugly baby. A hideous, 1300-week-old baby.

Harang or Cahill?

I’m a bit surprised by the anti-Cahill reactions I’ve seen. This is exactly the kind of gamble rebuilding teams should be taking.

I dont get it Either. I see JC all over this making a strong statistical argument for a big bounceback.

What's the negative with this?

A comp pick, and a minor league OF.

I dont see why you're up in arms about this.

He even takes the great Harang's number. How fitting.

So we get Cahill, about $6 million, and a competitive balance draft pick for Josh Elander?

According to some, horrible move, but thats because they hate the new FO since they traded Jesus.

The bit about the draft pick has not been completely substantiated yet.

@DCameronFG
Other SPs who signed for ~what ATL will pay Cahill: Chris Capuano, Kyle Kendrick, Aaron Harang. Rare to get real upside at this price.

 

[Heyward]

So looking at T, Wood, Miller, Cahill, Wandy to start the year, eh.

I don't see why you can't read. Enough said.
