This year is lost and it is really amazing this is a $122 mil team...amazing. Before we trade ANYONE this year, our Payroll is $75 mil next year and $57 mil in 2019. That could be deceased to $56 next year and $38 mil in 2019 by simply trading Kemp ALONE.

It really makes me see two things:

1. If our young pitching can hold serve next year (and how could they do worse), we will have a HUGE amount of available cash to fill holes.

2. The Braves are absolute IDIOTS, if they don't move vets this year. Moving Kemp, would free the team up in a major way. Moving Kemp this year and Julio next year (if pitching progresses), would leave us with ONLY $27 mil on the books for 2019 (Inciarte and Freeman being the only two contracts).
