Arby’s Purchases Buffalo Wild Wings !!!!

Arby’s is buying Buffalo Wild Wings, the chain of sports bars, for $2.9 billion.                    In an all-cash deal, Arby’s is paying $157 per share for Buffalo Wild Wings, a 7 percent premium based on Monday’s closing price. Buffalo Wild Wings stock had been much lower before rumors about a deal with Arby’s surfaced two weeks ago.                    The stock rose again in premarket trading Tuesday on news of the purchase agreement.                                                                                                                                                   The deal will take Buffalo Wild Wings private. Arby’s is owned by Roark Capital, which also has big stakes in Auntie Anne’s, Carvel and Jimmy John’s.                                   Analysts have also speculated that the chain could be hurt by lower NFL ratings this season, and some of the controversy swirling around the league. But company officials, while reporting better than expected earnings recently, said they had not seen evidence of a hit from the NFL’s problems.

Pirates Claim LHP Sam Moll off Waivers from the A’s

The Pirates have claimed left-hander Sam Moll off waivers from the Athletics, according to press release. Pittsburgh’s 40-man roster is now at 39 players.

Moll, 25, is a former third-round pick of the Rockies that was traded to Oakland this past August for cash considerations. The A’s designated him for assignment last week when clearing space on their 40-man roster to protect several players from the Rule 5 Draft.

The 2017 season saw Moll make his big league debut in Oakland, though the results weren’t especially pretty. In 6 2/3 frames, the Memphis product was tagged for eight runs on 13 hits (including two homers) and three walks with seven strikeouts.

In 54 1/3 innings between the Triple-A affiliates for the Rockies and the A’s, Moll pitched to a more respectable 3.64 ERA with 7.8 K/9 against 3.1 BB/9. He also registered a promising 50.3 percent ground-ball rate in his 47 1/3 innings with Colorado’s Triple-A affiliate.

He joins Nik Turley as the second southpaw claimed off waivers by the Bucs since the offseason began.
