Touki Toussaint/Bronson Arroyo Traded to the Braves For Phil Gosselin

Jaypers · Jun 20, 2015

Man, he barely got his pro career started in AZ's system, and now Hart has nabbed him for Atlanta.

Nice grab. Wonder what the rest of this trade looks like.

Man, they stole Toussaint.

WCTYSON · Jun 20, 2015

Why AZ? Just to clear money. Seems like they could have been able to do that without giving up a young arm.

Hart is doing a great job in ATL.

He is committing heists left and right. Kudos to him. The Braves' system continues to rise, and AZ falls a step further down.

Does Dave Stewart have a clue what is going on? Either he is clueless or ownership told him to dump payroll NOW.

Toussaint 3.69 ERA in seven starts at Class A Kane County. Has not thrown curveball all season. #DBacks wanted him to work on FB/CH command.

Which so happens to be his best pitch. Graded a 70 by most scouts. Hopefully the Braves have a clue.

I love KLaw's reactions to trades.

Dave Stewart is truly and simply clueless.

Stew: "With this year's draft we stacked our minor league system with college guys" who are ahead of Touki Toussaint on depth chart.

I hate Keith Law with a passion, but I am 100% with him. Nothing to say that hasn't been said

An absolutely clueless, cheap organization. Future continues to get dimmer and dimmer.

AnthonyCorona · Jun 21, 2015

I just grabbed his chrome base and refractor autos for 30. Kinda knee jerk but the braves are a great organization

scotty216brs · Jun 21, 2015

Wow this trade makes no sense even if it is about dumping salary, as I'm sure that Touki would not have had to be included. You never trade a potential future top of rotation starter just to dump salary.

Holy crap this DBacks trade. Arizona fans, I'm so, so sorry.

Similarish Red Sox comp: If Red Sox traded Michael Kopech and Shane Victorino for nothing to avoid paying latter. Just awful.

****ing unreal ... This is beyond mind-numbing. Dave Stewart is truly an idiot in the front office, who's phone should be ringing off the hook after this 'deal'. Kudos to John Hart.
