SnakeBytes 6/21: As if losing was bad enough

"In order to move the contract, Touki had to become a part of it. For what we're trying to do, the money is definitely important. We've said we're going to try to do what we can to promote our young pitching, but also have some savings so we can have the opportunity to do things at a later date."

Touki Trade

The D-backs announced on Saturday that they have traded right-handed pitchers Bronson Arroyo and Touki Toussaint to the Braves for infielder Phil Gosselin.

Toussaint is ranked as the organization's fifth-best prospect according to Baseball America and was the D-backs' first round pick in last year's MLB draft.
