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)

Coppolella on Tuissaint "he was a guy we really liked in the 2014 draft. We had pick 31, he was long gone by then. We had him in our top 10"

Trust me, I looked at Keith Law's account to make absolute sure it was real.
As did I. That is great.

braves have rebuilt farm system in 6 mnths, adding great pitching depth. toussaint essentially comes for $10M (arroyo pay)

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.

DBacks said they liked their pitching depth in the organization and he was expendable, this makes no sense.
