    I would really enjoy seeing the Rangers trade Garza and getting a better deal than the Cubs, just for the lulz.

    Bud Norris as the hottest topic is a joke. #WorstDeadlineEVER

    IIRC we heard zero about the Manny and Hanley deals before they happened.

    Manny for sure. I think the Hanley deal broke late that night.

    Not that I expect anything of that magnitude to happen. Just saying a lot of deals all the douche reporters don't even know about.

    Ian Kennedy possibly going to San Diego? Good thing we can fuck him up for a bit more if it happens

    Also, great to me that Kennedy was traded for Scherzer who is fucking awesome right now and would be a nightmare if he was with Arizona

    Kennedy to SD?
    Are you telling me we can take care of Kennedy and Quentin in the same game now? Perfect. When the rosters expand bring in the hardest throwing scrub we have to drill Quentin and beat up Adam.

    Is Arizona really trading him for relievers?

    Thatcher is a left hander which is why they wanted him and Kennedy is horrible. Idiot Byrnes!

    This is what I don't get about rebuilding teams. You just made a fantastic deal getting a mid rotation starter for a LOOGY, and yet you won't trade another reliever? A team 10 games under .500 should trade every single asset with the only exception being guys that will be vital cogs of a contending team. I understand the Mets not trading David Wright, because his 5 wins at 3B might be the difference between 85 and 90 wins in 2014 or 2013. Not trading Marlon Byrd, or Kevin Gregg, or Luke Gregerson, particularly in a dried up market, baffling.

    So it's looking more and more apparent we are happy (we should be, knock wood) with our team going forward. I think we are too but Phil Hughes anyone? 3 ERA away from Yankee stadium and 6 in, he's already here. :D When Matt gets back and Fife comes back as well, it's basically like getting 2 players without trading our specs.

    I can't believe there is so much chatter about Howie Kendrick? He's will be under team control for awhile and will be MUCH cheaper than Cano or Utley. The Angels of course will ask for the moon.

    Update: Utley talking extension with Phillies so he's very likely off the market.

    Padres Acquire Ian Kennedy
    By Tim Dierkes [July 31 at 1:35pm CST]

    The Padres have bolstered their rotation for the present and future, acquiring righty Ian Kennedy from the division rival Diamondbacks for lefty reliever Joe Thatcher, Double-A reliever Matt Stites, and a compensation round B draft pick, according to a tweet from MLB.com's Corey Brock. It's a surprisingly light haul for Kennedy, a 28-year-old who is under team control through 2015 as an arbitration eligible player.

    Drafted 21st overall by the Yankees in '06, Kennedy joined Arizona in the December 2009 three-team trade with the Yanks and Tigers, at a time when Josh Byrnes was the Diamondbacks' GM. Byrnes was fired the following year and later landed the GM job in San Diego, while Kevin Towers took over for Arizona. Clearly, Byrnes has an affinity for Kennedy, who tossed 624 1/3 regular season innings from 2010-12 with a 3.55 ERA and finished fourth in the NL Cy Young voting back in 2011. Kennedy's walk rate worsened this year, en route to a 5.23 ERA in 124 frames. His skills suggest something closer to 4.00 moving forward. As a fly-ball pitcher, Kennedy will likely benefit tremendously from leaving the hitter-friendly Chase Field to a more pitcher-friendly stadium in Petco Park.

    Thatcher is a useful left-handed specialist who joined the Padres in a July 2007 trade brokered by Towers. The 31-year-old has a 2.10 ERA, 8.7 K/9, 1.2 BB/9, 0.90 HR/9, and 42.4% groundball rate in 30 innings this year. He's faced 70 lefty batters and held them to a .212/.257/.231 line. Earning $1.35MM this year, Thatcher is under team control through 2014 as an arbitration eligible player.

    Stites, a 23-year-old reliever, has a 2.08 ERA, 8.8 K/9, 1.4 BB/9, and 1.04 HR/9 in 52 Double-A innings this year. Prior to the season Baseball America ranked the 5'11" Stites 27th among Padres prospects.

    The draft pick headed to the D'Backs is San Diego's competitive balance lottery pick, which is the first pick of Comp Round B (between the second and third rounds). As such, it will likely fall in the 70 to 75 range; Comp Round B consisted of picks 69 to 73 in this year's draft. Those picks carried assigned values of between $808K and $759K, according to Baseball America.

    Towers and the Diamondbacks clearly thought Kennedy to be expendable with Trevor Cahill and Brandon McCarthy on the mend and Archie Bradley in the minor leagues. Kennedy scored a near-record $4.265MM salary for 2013, his first arbitration year. MLBTR contributor Matt Swartz projects a mild raise to the $5.9MM range for 2014, so there's a financial element to the trade as well. Still, it seems to be an underwhelming return for a pitcher with Kennedy's upside, even in a down season.

    As shown in MLBTR's Transaction Tracker, Towers and Byrnes have connected on a pair of past deals for Tony Clark and Scott Hairston back in 2008 and 2007, respectively.

    Not now on Hughes, maybe in the offseason, but not taking a risk on a guy like that in a pennant race.
