Like ripping off a band aid. It will hurt, but in the long run will be worth it.

Yeah, it would break my heart to do the deal even if we got LA’s entire farm system.

But I kind of hope the front office is smart enough to pull the trigger anyway. Like ripping off a band aid. It will hurt, but in the long run will be worth it.

if we trade Peavy to Los Dodgers … thats a game changer for me.

we could get back Kemp, Kershaw AND Martin, and I am still going to be pissed.

The Diamondbacks…worse than the Dodgers? Thank you for having the courage to say so.

This is a huge leap of faith and overly optimistic assuming the Padres deal with a division rival, but if the Padres could get Kemp and Kershaw out of this, I don’t think there’s really anything better out there. It’s kind of interesting how similar Peavy and Kershaw are at their relative ages, which makes it that much more unlikely that the Dodgers would be willing to part with him.

That being said, it’s Ned Colletti, and Kemp was initially slated for a bench role behind Pierre and Jones prior to last season. Nothing is impossible.
