Last October, the team declined to exercise options to extend both contracts, but Hall said he has felt all along that the Diamondbacks shouldn't go into the season with the two facing the last year of their deals.

Looks like Arroyo is signing with the DBacks.  2 years with an option according to the reports on the twitter.
