It appears Ian Kennedy’s run with the Arizona Diamondbacks may be coming to an end.
According to CBSSports’ Jon Heyman, a deal that would send the struggling right-hander to San Diego is “getting closer.”
As for what the Diamondbacks may be getting in return:

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