Braves acquire Cahill from Diamondbacks

Lake Buena Vista, FL (SportsNetwork.com) - The Atlanta Braves acquired pitcher Trevor Cahill from the Arizona Diamondbacks Thursday night.

The Braves also received cash considerations and shipped minor-league outfielder Josh Elander to the Diamondbacks.

Cahill, who will reportedly have 5.5 million of his $12 million salary paid by the Braves, is coming off the worst season of his six-year career. The right- hander went 3-12 with a 5.61 earned run average in 32 games (17 starts) with Arizona in 2014.

The 27-year-old was an All-Star in 2010 and has compiled a 64-69 record with a 4.07 ERA in 186 games with Oakland and Arizona.
