So... who's next on the list for the Halos?

Thank god

Thank you Padres.

Why would the Diamondbacks and Padres do a deal like that. The Padres stink and Arizona is only 3 games out.

[Docwaukee]

good.  I am pretty done with damaged goods or reclamation projects.

Kennedy is hurting Arizona's slim chance at the playoffs. SD is making a gamble for the future.

At age 28, Kennedy is hardly a reclamation project. Two years removed from a fabulous season. He also averaged 33 starts each year from 2010-12 and has started 21 games this year. Not fragile, like most of our pitchers.

Only 2 hours left!!! Then time for the suspensions. Can't wait.

@Ken_Rosenthal: Source: #Angels still believe they have shot at Kennedy. #Padres have been in active discussions.

Noooooo!

It probably won't happen today. Anyways, most of the names are already known.

[fan_since79]

Suspensions will probably come tomorrow or Friday. They're still negotiating deals with some of the players involved.

 

Colon will probably get a pass, which pisses me off.

[Angel Oracle]

Kennedy reminds me too much of both Haren (decline similar to his) and Blanton (hgh HRs/hits counts).

#Dbacks nearing deal with Padres for Kennedy that would invoke LHP Joe Thatcher.

[halo15fan]

UPDATE!!! Angels still believe they can get Kennedy 

[austin724]

Why is Colon not getting suspended if he was still taking steroids after his 50 game suspension?

Steve Gilbert ‏@SteveGilbertMLB

#Dbacks will receive more than just Thatcher and a prospect in the deal.

 

 

Yaaa...I'm okay with the Angels not winning this "sweepstakes"

[fan_since79]

Okay, so nothing more is happening on the trade front. I'm okay with that. This season, and possibly next year, is history. Reevaluate and build something stronger for the years ahead.

looked great in 2011.  2012 all of a sudden not as much and more of the same this year.  Youngish guys that regress like this scream injury. 

[austin724]

Next year is not history. We haven't even played a game in 2014.  Who knows what is going to happen. One thing about it things change very quickly in this sport.

How could he be injured if he's starting 33 games a year?

[bloodbrother]

Sounds more and more likely that he'll be going to the Padres. Fine by me

[Scott34]

@FollowThePadres #Padres get RHP Ian Kennedy for LHP Joe Thatcher, RHP Matt Stites (Double-A) and a draft pick (comp B )

 

 

Whew.

 

Also, nice haul for the Dbacks.

[bloodbrother]

Padres save the Angels from Dipoto adding another reject from the Dbacks

[fan_since79]

So that's it. Downs and Callaspo. 

 

Now back to the games.

Its over! http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2013/07/padres-to-acquire-ian-kennedy.html
