He just strikes me as someone who has reached a point where he needs a change of scenery, a new perspective from a different hitting coach, etc.
If Arnold can get cash, a low level lottery ticket, anything at all, I think it would be a good thing for both sides.
My only guess on Lara is with him being 21 and possibly having a bright future in Milwaukee they don’t want him coming up here to take on a minor role right now and would rather him continue playing every day in Nashville.
