Trail Droppings 2038-8 Arce Demands Trade

Arce Demands Trade

Calgary Pioneers pitcher Jesus Arce posted on Twitter today that he wants to be traded. Arce was clearly unhappy with his diminished role after the team signed closer Timofei Bakitski. Arce was moved to a setup role and when he faltered there he was moved into middle relief.

Arce Tweeted -

“If they aren’t going to play me then trade me! I signed a low ball contract to stay in Calgary and then you go out and get that Russian? It’s bad enough they stole the election, now they are taking our JOBS!!!

Arce was known as a team leader and not the type of player to cause trouble in the clubhouse. He has been with the club for 8 seasons and pitched in 494 games. He is under contract for 2 more years at a team friendly $5 million. When reached for comment Arce expanded on his tweet.

“Hey, I kept quiet during the season, but now I want out. I mean I only pitched 2 games the whole month of September. I get it, they have Vlad or whatever his name is, but then send me somewhere that I can pitch.”

There hadn’t been any talk about problems between Arce and Bakitski during the season, but several players admitted there had been problems. None wanted to do so publicly. Calls to management went unreturned. Arce finished the season 1-4, with 2 saves and a 7.61 ERA. His career ERA is 3.74.

After our interview Arce posted another tweet -

“Well I guess I ruffled some feathers so I am guaranteed on my way out now. Hey GMs!! Call Dickson Now - Bet he gives you a good deal!!

I could see there being a market for Arce.
