2016 Trade Deadline Rumors and Moves

Regardless of how much they send it saves us 8.5 million in 2020, when we are more likely to need it for our increasingly expensive young talent.

They need to be aggressively shopping both. There is no reason for Frenchy to be on this team on August 2nd or later. Neck is a harder sell but still has value to teams in the playoff hunt.

#Braves and #Padres have completed the Olivera-for-Kemp deal, pending physicals. Exactly 1 yr after Braves traded for Olivera from Dodgers.
 
Done deal pending medical checks (which isn't routine in this instance with Kemp involved... but probably gets done).

Now let's see the $ figures.
 
As I prepare myself for disappointment on the $ . . . If we do end up overpaying here, at least it's an overpayment of money and not high-upside prospects. Don't want to be wasteful with either obviously, but wasting $ somehow doesn't feel as bad.
 
Say we do get Kemp for 9 million a year. Couldn't we flip him to an AL team and pay 3-4 million a year of his salary and still save money while getting something useful back? Kemp at 5-6 million a year would be a steal as your DH.
 
2017:

Albies 2B

Prado 3B

Freeman 1B

Matt Kemp LF

Swanson SS

Ramos C

Inciarte CF

Teheran

Smith RF

SOMETHING LIKE THAT?
 
Screw the money. New park and more revenue....money is no concern. Personally I'm glad to see a new face in the lineup who can drop bombs on this sh*tty team...seriously, what's the issue that some of you are having?
