Could be Arroyo wasn't protesting the trade to loudly. Most Starters want to start not be locked into the 'pen. I have a feeling he didn't mind too much knowing he'd be a SP.
As for hometown discounts and "sticking it to the owner". It's not the owners you are sticking it to, it's the fans and pretty soon the fans will tire of watching their fan favorites go elsewhere chasing that extra million or so.
