I do kind of feel bad for Arroya, inasmuch as I can feel bad for a major leaguer making millions. But he did sign a contract that was somewhat lower par, and bought out his arb years, because he liked Boston and wanted to play for them. Basically, Boston got the hometown discount from a player and quickly, callously, traded him away. I'm not criticizing Boston for doing it - it was the right move, they traded from strength and depth (starting pitching) and got back a massively talented player in return - but I do think it shows that people shouldn't just criticize players for lacking loyalty.
