This looks really good for both teams cash-wise, honestly doesn’t matter if any of these players see more than a few games.

Could Kemp be part of a Yelich trade with Dodgers paying most of his salary and prospects? Then Miami has a “name star” to sell.

That Kemp/Gonzalez trade is like looking into a crystal ball that shows 4 years into the future and softly whispering the words “Eric Hosmer.” I mean other than the part where Hosmer isn’t anywhere near as good as those guys were in their best years.

seiferguy posted:Is Adrian Gonzalez any good? Seems like a decent reclamation project. He almost certainly is a reclamation project if some lower echelon team needs a 1B who can play a role with the bat. Even with presumable age related decline before last year it’s not like his OBP went into the tank or anything. He’s just not a star and it’s a total gamble that he could even return to 2016 form at age 36.

I was sure they’d have to get rid of Markakis first and maybe still sweeten the pot to do it. They’ll still have to get rid of Markakis, mind, just now they can probably wait for midseason.

He’s probably going to cost too much if you’re just looking for a backup. Maybe he could DH though. Doesn’t seem like the dedicated DH is still a thing. I wouldn’t know I don’t pay attention to the abomination that is the Designated Hitter.

ColdBlooded posted:gently caress Matt Kemp Obviously that was an ownership level decision. The owners are known meddlers. We have had a bad record of development for years. It’s not fair to judge Preller on that because none of the dudes he’s drafted have hit the majors. Even Hunter Renfroe, a current Padre and current Padre draft disappointment at the major league level, was drafted a year before Preller got there.

I understand that but they were coming off the books for the dodgers too and the braves end up paying a ton in 18 for no production. This just really helps the dodgers reset the luxury tax for 18.
