    What this does tells us above all IMHO is that when we are the most quiet we are the most active it seems.

    Andrew Friedman said he's talked to Matt Kemp. "I was very honest
    and open with him about what the future might hold."

    yeah, i'm guessing something along the lines of...
    kemp: "oh man, thanks for bringing me back to la boss!"
    friedman: "my pleasure matt, do you have any plans now that your playing career is over?"

    obvious but...

    Ken Rosenthal ✔@Ken_Rosenthal
    Regarding any #Dodgers effort to trade Kemp: It won’t be easy, unless they attach
    at least one significant prospect. Kemp owed $43M over next two years. #Braves
    could not move him except in this type of mammoth, cash-neutral deal.

    Arguably, the race will be with SP for the Yankees. Their offense seems set for awhile.

    We have three glaring needs for the 2018-2019 off season....re-signing CK, getting another SP along with CK as I think Hill’s contract will expire (even if Hill is still effective and we re-sign him), and getting that Machado type bat. This is assuming Kenley is still effective and they do something about the BP this year.

    In my opinion, we have more holes to plug than the Yankees at this point, which is why getting under the luxury tax this year was multiple times more important for us than the Yankees.

    It is now up to the FO to execute all these plans. If not, then it’s riot time.

    He’s worth 2/16 though I think to an AL team

    don't disagree
    my concern is other teams will know we want to dump him and have leverage

    We aren’t trading any top prospect to shed that, no way. Probably end up DFA’d
