Arizona takes McCarthy off DL, Release Arroyo
5/10/14
With McCarthy finally healthy enough to pitch, and Arroyo not pitching to expectations, the Diamondbacks have released SP Bronson Arroyo and placed SP Brandon McCarthy on the 25 man roster.
This move leaves many confused, because of the fact that Arizona had just signed him at the beginning of this year and now still owe him $16,000,000, and also because Trevor Cahill has pitched much worse so far this season (4.62 ERA vs 6.18 ERA) and still has all 3 minor league options remaining.
General Manager John Vuch noted this saying, "I definately considered it(sending Cahill to AAA), but I just dont feel like that would be the best option atthis point in his career to send him down."
Bronson Arroyo was also asked to comment and simply put, "It is disappointing. I was working hard, I was feeling good, but I also understand it is a buisness and I just wasnt getting the results." He also went on to thank Arizona for the time there and thank the fans for the support they showed.
