Exchanged

Boston Red Sox pitcher Bronson Arroyo reacting to the news that he was traded to the Cincinnati Reds:

"[Red Sox General Manager Theo Epstein and I] were pretty close. Probably as close as you can get to a GM as a player, but you know, the game is business, man, that's what it's about. It doesn't matter how you feel personally about somebody. You just make the best move. It's like playing a chess match, man. Just pieces on the freaking board."
