Arizona Trade Rumors

[devilalum]

I wouldn't be surprised if we unloaded those two and received only young, unproven talent. I can't imagine Kubel and Kennedy will net much, if anything at all in the way of proven major league talent...

An ESPN writer says they want to unload their salaries so they can take on Peavy.

There is a bit of buzz on Twitter regarding the cubs or white sox dealing with the Dbacks.

One beat writer was trying to play up Kubel. One fan guy blogger was trying to say how great dealing with Arizona would be because of the talent in AZ system.

I hope not

And supposedly the Sox are demanding a top 50 prospect. Who would that be if not Bradley or Skaggs?

KT isn't that stupid

Owings and/or Davidson may be targeted by the White Sox in a potential Peavy deal.

David Holmberg could be in the deal as well. Plus, my guess is the White Sox would be putting in quite a bit of money to compensate for his 14 plus million dollar salary in 2014.

I'm not so sure I am crazy about this deal.

Damnit... I'd be okay moving some of our prospects for a big time difference maker, but not another banged up starter with an ERA in the 4s.. and a fat contract.

Towers freaking blows.

Trahan is never going to replace Montero at catcher. I'm pretty sure if it. But he will probably bring his mighty bat to some corner position in the not-so-distant future. You can't trade him now.

Angels, Padres Eyeing Ian Kennedy

Earlier today, Jon Heyman of CBS Sports wrote that the Angels could be interested in landing D'Backs right-hander Ian Kennedy, as Halos GM Jerry Dipoto is a former Diamondbacks executive who is very familiar with Kennedy. Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports now tweets that the Angels are "hopeful" of landing Kennedy, whom the D'Backs have been shopping recently. Steve Gilbert of MLB.com adds that the Padres are also interested in Kennedy (Twitter link), and Buster Olney of ESPN lists the Cubs as a potential landing place as well (on Twitter

Anybody interested in Kennedy must be having a seizure, or at least a brain fa?t. They will soon come to their senses.

 

[splitsecond]

they can have his garbage arm and garbage brain. ill take this deal, so long as we dont sell the house to get it done

Would have no problem packaging Davidson with Kubel and Kennedy for Peavy... However, nothing and nobody else!

White Sox, D'Backs, Angels Discussing Three-Team Trade

The White Sox, Angels and Diamondbacks are discussing a three-team trade that would send Jake Peavy to Arizona and Ian Kennedy to Anaheim, according to ESPN's Jerry Crasnick (on Twitter). The Diamondbacks reportedly emerged as the front-runners for Peavy earlier today, and the Angels have been connected to Kennedy as well. Crasnick notes that it's not clear what Chicago would receive in the trade at this time.

Supposedly LAA have made an offer for Kennedy. Maybe ARZ flips the prospects they get for Kennedy for Peavy. Would rather do that than give up some of our own guys who are close.

Kennedy pitched very well today. I would love to get Peavy but would be kinda sad to see Kennedy go.

Kennedy pitched very well today. I would love to get Peavy but would be kinda sad to see Kennedy go.

The man hasn't won a game since June 1st!

Kennedy pitched very well today. I would love to get Peavy but would be kinda sad to see Kennedy go.

Ian Kennedy gave up 3 runs on 6 hits and 3 walks in 5 innings today. That's the rate of a 5.40 ERA for the game, which is consistent with his ERA of 5.22 for the season.

That could not be called "pitched very well" by any stretch of the imagination. Not for the game. Not for the season.

A change in scenery would be good for the D'backs and good for Kennedy. And we desperately need a veteran for the #1 spot in the rotation.

 

[82CardsGrad]

The man hasn't won a game since June 1st!

I believe he also hasn't recorded an out past the 7th inning since April!

 

[Diamondback Jay]

Per Buster Olney:

Iglesias to Tigers, 2 or 3 lesser prospects to White Sox, Detroit OF Avisal Garcia to White Sox, pitcher from Detroit also coming to Boston with Peavy.


For that price, Boston can have him.

 

[DiamondBacks5117]

5 runs in three innings isn't that bad. Not his fault we had no offense. He Also had 7 Ks and i think Gibson took him out a bit early.

 

[Phrazbit]

Kennedy is a wreck, he stunk today, was damn lucky to only give up 3 runs. His hallmark pitch right now is a "rising" changeup, either that or his bat-ball, he where he throws it directly at the sweet spot.

I am shocked that anyone would actually pursue him.
