Orioles send Arrieta, Strop to the Cubs in Exchange for Feldman

To me, this trade was surprising. Well, more of which for Arrieta. I think Duquette's choice was good because this makes way for new arrivals Gausman and Bundy (if he ever joins MLB) those two are young and quite better than Arrieta and Strop combined. I feel bad for the two, Arrieta and Strop because now they have to find housing, medical care and more right smack in the middle of the season. Maybe the Cubs already made plans. If not, All-Star break is coming up. I can't wait to see Arrieta and Strop giving up runs and not feel guilty or angry about it!

Here's Arrieta's thoughts on leaving Baltimore and joining Chicago (via Twitter)

To everyone involved in the O's org. and to the fans.. I thank you for 6 memorable years. I wish you all well, and cont'd success in Bmore

I've been a fan of the Cubs since Chet Stedman was a workhorse. Thankful for the opportunity.. I'm ready.
^ I think he was paid to say that.
