Braves in talks with DBacks for Trevor Cahill

[weso1]

I hit a HR off Cahill by the way. 68 points for that one. Not a good sign for the Braves, but the good news is that I can improve my durability.

If completed, the #Braves would likely also receive a comp pick. Would be responsible for a little less than half of Cahill's $12M salary

The #Braves need to review medical records, but it sounds like they are close to a deal with the D-backs for Trevor Cahill.

Yeah, they're on it.

I assume he means competitive balance pick in June draft. Those are tradeable. If so, that is a real nice add-in. Real nice.

A comp pick in that if Cahill is signed?

Can you trade draft picks now?

@nickpiecoro
Now Dbacks saying deal is done: Cahill and cash considerations for OF Josh Elander.

 

[Dalyn]

It would be a huge win for the Mukaki Rebuild.

 

[Knucksie]

I see Martin developing into a consistent 200-inning #3.

Based on what?

Sources: Diamondbacks trade of Trevor Cahill to the Braves is official.

I knew Elander's stock had fallen (what little there ever was), but his numbers are really bad for a 23 year old in A ball. Not a big loss here, to say the least.

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

At first glance, nothing to really complain about to me.

 

[Knucksie]

Did Cahill have TJ surgery recently that I didnt hear about?

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

Done. Elander heading to Arz

 

[Hawk]

At first glance, nothing to really complain about to me.

Especially if the comments about the Braves paying less than half of his salary and the comp. pick are true.

 

[thethe]

This is kind of a slam dunk right? I thought eland e was a breakout candidate last year but there was no progress at all.

I think Cahill is a nice bounce back candidtae.

 

[Braves1976]

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.

 

[zbhargrove]

I don't see how anyone could be upset with this deal.

No comp pick? The D'backs have a comp pick at #75 which can be traded. Sure would love to get that in this deal.

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.
