After sending Arvay to the Ninjas, the Gashouse Gorillas will have six players on their roster heading into the draft. A normal roster has four to five players, and with the addition of a high draft pick, Gashouse may have to part ways with one or more of their teammates.
They have a few options to determine who stays and who will be likely heading to a new team. Gashouse could send some of their players in exchange for a few picks in next years draft, if they decide to rebuild, This move could help them in the long run, and add more championships in the future. It could also backfire, and they may become less competitive.
Another option is for Gashouse, and manager Jeremy Ratajczyk, to take part in a trade that sends multiple players for a position of need. This might be there best move, if they can find a willing trade partner.
The last option is if they do not find any suitors in the trade market. This is a last resort, and it would involve releasing some of their players into this years draft class. Whether or not they do any of this will be up to Mr. Ratajczyk. Only time will tell, but the clock is ticking.

The Possible Effect of the Arvay Trade
Over a few days trade discussions have heated up between the Nighttime Ninjas and the Gashouse Gorillas. The speculated trade is Ethan Arvay to the Ninjas, and Mike Dempsey to the Gorillas. It is a blockbuster trade that would send one of the best all around players in the game to the Ninjas. While on the other hand, the Gorillas would receive one of the only lefties in the GBL.
In a recent statement by the Ninjas manager, Mike Kubacki Jr., he stated, "(Arvay) is one of the top arms in the league. Easily 2rd or 3rd best. Any manager in the league would want him in their rotation." He would also be returning to the Ninjas for the second time.
Since joining the league, Arvay, has posted a career .405 batting average, a 25-2 win-loss record, and an ERA just a tad above 2. Batters can not seem to catch up to his high velocity, and opposing pitchers can not seem to get him out.
On the other hand, the Gorillas would be gaining Mike Dempsey. The most effective left-handed pitcher in the league. With a short supply of lefties in the league, this could be a game changer for the Gorillas.
The trade could be beneficial to both teams, but only time will tell.
