I think it was Kenny's plan all along to get something for Jackson (Frasor, Stewart and ridding Teahen's contract), then try to obtain some young pitching prospects. The Q for Beachy rumor for example has been floating around for quite some time. Also the Thornton for starting pitcher rumors.
It's just the way Rosenthal worded his tweet that makes it sound like KW just realized that trading Jackson thinned out his starting staff. That's ridiculous.
Yeah this idea must have been festering in Kenny's mind for some time. This just didnt come up today.
