David Aardsma 11:$4.5M
Matt Belisle 11:$2.35M (PP 4/5)

*Dbacks to confirm. Obviously, I am giving up a ton of pieces here, but I needed to give to get a stud pitcher like Verlander. All of these pieces were in positions of depth for me, and I feel like I can survive without them. I hope that Verlander can come close to replacing Wainwright, and I am looking forward to having the 3 of them in 1 rotation next season. Thanks to the Dbacks!

This was all about added depth. I felt Verlander has huge upside, but I didn't feel I would be competitive without any depth at any position.

This gives me a huge shot to my bullpen which was hurting very bad.

I agree
