Salty is goign to be a GREAT player...i dont want the braves to give him up, but McCan is there too, and he is phenomenal. I would like the trade for both clubs if the Braves could also squeeze a young reliever out of the deal.

There is no way the Reds would give up Arroyo and throw in a reliever to boot. If there's been one thing they have been lacking all year, it's been reliable guys out of the bullpen. I just can't see the Reds giving up a young arm unless they got some pitching back in return.

The Braves may be dealing from a position where Salty is expendable, but the Reds have been desperate for good starting pitching for so long that I have a hard time seeing them trading Arroyo unless a team overpays for him. If Arroyo was indeed on the block, I believe they would have good offers from several clubs to consider.
