$6.5 million cash

Diamondbacks also pay $3.16 million of the NTC buyout. Also, d-backs sent cash to the braves in a trade also, d-backs gm said to take this money from his bank.


I accept. i give up way more than i was planning to, and i never give up this much for a 32 year old, but mahone will be my ace and i'm hoping he can stay good for 3-4 more years, and if so, this can be nice, but he is 32 and that's about the time guys start falling, even aces, so hopefully he stays healthy and can stay good. d-backs get a lot here, more than i ever pay for older players.

:ARI2: Accepts. I talked to several teams about Mahone, and Rocky ended up being the best fit.

I love Mahone and I hate to trade him, but with me going into a rebuild, he's not someone I can really use. I think I get good value out of Mahone. He is getting older, but he's yet to show any signs of falling. Jones helps fill in my roto now and with a lot of players off my books, I can afford the cash.

As Rocky noted, please take the money out of my bank.
