Ian Kennedy Trade Tree

In the course of last week’s trade deadline, a simple question came across my twitter feed:

So did Arizona just turn Max Scherzer into basically Joe Thatcher? Is that a thing? Is that wha happened?

This was referring to the Diamondbacks trading Ian Kennedy to San Diego for reliever Joe Thatcher and a minor league reliever. Let’s see if it’s true. (click to embiggen)

Arizona still has some hope to come out okay in these deals if Daniel Hudson can come back from his second torn UCL to be the same pitcher he was before. He’s only 26 this year so time is on his side. But for now, @BigMike05 is right. Joe Thatcher is the only active piece the Diamondbacks have from trading Max Scherzer to Detroit.
