Arroyo owed rest of $9.5M this season plus $4.5M buyout on option that now will be worth $13M. Recovering from TJ; return perhaps in August.

Dont be Maybin, dont be Maybin.

I predict Touissant will be a puissant addition to the team.

 

[Braves1976]

Dont be Maybin, dont be Maybin.

Yea, I sure hope not. Plus hope this deal works out better than the Cahill trade with D'Backs. Not saying that trade will end up a total loss, depends on the kid we got with that draft pick.

Please have CJ attached in this deal.

Y'all ... CJ might make some sense here.

 

[WaitingFor2017]

Bye, Bye Phil Gosselin.

 

[Krovahn]

If Arroyo is coming too... is it like... Wood or Teheran? I certainly hope not.

 

[Hawk]

Nevermind.
