Nooooooooooooo!!!!!

While I would have loved for the Reds to resign him, he definitely slowed in the 2nd half. It has the ability to end up being a 2 year/8 mil deal per reports.

Loved Arthur, but that foot really killed him the 2nd half of the season. Time to find younger options.

Arthur was lights out in first half, but very pedestrian (at best) in 2nd half. I will bet dollars to donuts he will not be productive any longer. We caught lightning in a bottle last year.

Best of luck to Rhodes in Texas. Darren Oliver has to be happy. Even at 40 he's no longer the oldest LH reliever in the Rangers bullpen.

The Reds will be fine from the left side with Chapman and Bray.

This is not good.
