Kemp is not going to be a lifesaver for this team & I think we all know that. However, I'm so glad we got rid of Hector Olivera! He was a waste to start with. We screwed up bigtime on him just like we have with way too many others.

He has better stats than anyone on the team. Great great. Great trade. And we only had to give up a woman beater to get him. There is no howevers.

So...

Mallex/Inciarte-CF
Albies-2B
Freeman-1B
Kemp-LF
Markakis-RF
FA-C
Jace/ FA-3B
Swanson-SS

Still a lot to be determined, but adding Ramos or Desmond would be nice. There are still plenty of questions beyond Julio in the rotation, so they will probably have to sign someone there as well. Still not very good as it currently stands, but it looks like they're committed to competing next year.

I don't really understand.. Wood just went under the knife and Peraza is a nobody. We gave up nothing for a failed lottery ticket

What they are now is irrelevant. At one point they both had very solid trade value and all we now have to show for that value is washed up Matt Kemp. Ideally, we would've had more to show for once valuable pieces. And Hector never made sense from the start.

The kid they got from the Rangers might be an answer at third. Not sure if he's ready to play at this level, but it might be an option

I don't think Jose Peraza has ever had anything

Looks like we are paying about 8.5 mil a year for Kemp after you figure the swap of contracts what the Padres are sending us and what the Dodgers are still paying. Not bad at all IMO

My however was that I was glad to get rid of a woman beater in Oilvera. What's the big deal about the however? :question: Kemp is going to make us a better team for sure.

Braves are apparently interested in McCann. Y'all can have him. Just send the bat boy and a case of Natty Light.

Jace 2B
Markakis RF
Freeman 1B
Kemp LF
McCann C
Garcia 3B
Inciarte CF
D'Arnaud SS

Not the worst worst team in baseball ever

How they are acquiring names to sell tickets without giving up anything needs to be commended. When this day ends with McCann, smh idk what to say. Mac, Frenchie, and Kemp will sell tickets.
