Trevor Cahill, an All-Star in 2010, was sent to Arizona along with left-hander Craig Breslow and small cash considerations, a couple of hundred thousand dollars, for one of the Diamondbacks' top young pitching prospects, right-hander Jarrod Parker, plus outfielder Collin Cowgill and reliever Ryan Cook, a pair of rookies.

Parker was the #9 overall pick in the 2007 draft; heading into 2011, Baseball America ranked him as the #33 prospect in MLB.

I realize we have some... other... news that's preoccupying BF.net right now, but this is a pretty major trade. Also, it led to this Tweet from Breslow:

That tweet is pretty awesome - AZ is going to be tough, like that trade for them.
