Stupid move for Arizona if they're giving up Parker. Cahill isn't worth much in a hitter's park. His ERA was already in the 4's last year and he got worse from his second season.

Just look at his home/road splits. 3.24 ERA at home and 4.71 ERA on the road in his career. He's going to be awful in Arizona. The D-Backs got hosed.

That's exactly why any team that trades for Gio Gonzalez is going to be severely disappointed as well.

Apparently it's a done deal.

According to Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle, the Diamondbacks have acquired right-hander Trevor Cahill and left-hander Craig Breslow from the Athletics.
Oakland will receive prospect right-hander Jarrod Parker, outfielder Collin Cowgill and a third player in return. That third player better be pretty good, because this is somewhat of a disappointing haul for someone who is locked up at a very reasonable rate through 2017. Cahill, who turns 24 in March, has a 3.91 ERA over his first 96 big-league starts. He should fit quite nicely behind Daniel Hudson and Ian Kennedy in Arizona's rotation.
