Thanks for the summary.
Two things I am coming to terms with in this situation:
1) KP's value is almost absolutely nothing.
2) This is because a) his health is a huge concern long term for basically every team and b) even when he plays he is frankly not that impactful.
I think WAS traded for KP for basically only one reason: They knew DB and SD were never going to be happy in their organization again and KP gives them something like a 2% chance to get a good player while mostly just injecting artificial and fake hype/hope into a franchise that needs to keep its fans engaged in any way possible.
