A's after Kennedy

Last week, the A's were mentioned in a Peter Gammons article about trading for Colorado starting lefty Joe Kennedy. Well after a few days, the rumor is heating up; in today's Denver Post, the A's have been so persistent that the Rockies are going to send scouts to watch the Rivercats.

Colorado, however, would be seeking to fill multiple needs with a powerful bullpen arm like prospect Jairo Garcia and possibly a major-league outfielder.

The problem I have is that Kennedy is nowhere near worth Garcia at this point so a Byrnes for Kennedy trade has to be the avenue the A's take. Seeing as how the Rockies have a statistical devotion towards sinkerballers, the Nationals need for power in their lineup, the A's should try to do a three-way where Day goes to the Rockies, Byrnes to the Nationals, and Kennedy to the A's.
