Olivera traded for Kemp

HO is owes 20.5 million. Kemp is owed 54 million from the Padres.

HO I consider a sunk cost so with the Braves getting at minimum 10 million that means the Braves would be adding on 23.5 million over the next 3 seasons or right under 8 million per year.

Kemp is owed about $72m from 8/1/2016 through the end of his contract.

Braves just signed Matt Kemp to a 3.3 year contract for $30m-$32m. Not a disaster by any means, but not a smart deal, IMO.

Well we have money to use, but Kemp could be moved to an AL team as a DH.

If we ate some of the money for a better return.

I wouldnt do that deal but you cant look at it like that. The Braves arent forced to pay more. They could simply DFA HO and dump 28 mil in a rebuilding year. Instead they still theoritically paying HO plus taking on an additional 8 mil per for a 1 WAR player.

There are now two teams willing to eat money to get rid of Kemp. Would a third team doing the same be a record?
 
I can live with this. I'm certainly no fan of Kemp at his price, but it becomes more reasonable when you factor in HO's dead money, and if we can offset his defense with Inciarte/Mallex, he could be a somewhat useful player for us as we start trying to build a playoff team.
 
Here are the specifics of how the $32m from the Dodgers is to be paid to the Padres. I'm not assuming any of this is going to the Braves. The Dodgers were never writing Matt Kemp a check with this money . . . it was going to SD and SD was writing the check.

Los Angeles will give San Diego six $3 million installments in 2015, payable on the first of each month during regular season, according to information obtained by The Associated Press.

The Dodgers owe $3.5 million annually in each of the following four seasons, $600,000 on the first of each month from April through August and $500,000 on Sept. 1.

How does it work? Do Dodgers keep paying money to Pads or does it transfer to us? If it doesnt transfer, we are on hook for 60-62

Lol. That doesnt mean we are saving That money. We are spending HO money PLUS that

Indeed. And HO is a sunk cost. We would be paying that whether we DFA him or make him spend the next 4 years in Gwinnent. Given that the Braves are paying Kemp 14-16 million over the next 3 years.
