Olivera traded for Kemp

[Oklahomabrave]

So how it breaks down year by year:

Net salary additions

17: +8.5

18: +8

19: +7

20: -8.5

22:-1

I actually like how this works out. We pay the most on the front end when we will hypothetically suck the most and have cheap young players and then pay less the following 2 years then have an extra 8.5 to spend in 2020 that we wouldn't have without this trade.

So it's as above or:

17:+ 12

18:+ 11.5

19:+10.5

Same for 2020

Considering Braves get $10.5 from #Padres to offset Kemp's $64.5M deal,and subtract Olivera's $28.5M, #Braves paying 8.5M per year for Kemp

So to put a positive spin on it, we are effectively paying him $6m in 2016 and then have him signed to a 3 / $25.5m deal from 2017 thru 2019.

Sherman: Kemp-Olivera deal is official #Braves #Padres

 

[dak]

So it's as above or:
17:+ 12
18:+ 11.5
19:+10.5
Same for 2020

To truly break down the money difference by year, it would be this . .

2016 : $6m
2017: $12m
2018: $11.5m
2019: $10.5m
2020: -$8.5M

Kemp at 3/25.5 is not bad for some RH power in LF.

I for one am excited to see Kemp in a Braves uniform. He was one of my favorite players for a couple years and has given my fantasy team some nice power for a late round pick.

It's an overpay in my book, but not disastrously so. It probably has about the same amount of dead money as your average FA deal in that range.

 

[zbhargrove]

I'll let the accontants for the Braves worry about the money. For now it makes our team better and by the time his contract is up the younger guys will be ready

 

[zbhargrove]

Olivera released... Lol

Olivera released... Lol

Basically the spells the end of Inciarte or Markakis in Atlanta by next year. I can't imagine Mallex being buried after how awesome he was this year.

 

[IowaBrave14]

Here is the deal, we have the money. We dropped a $hit bag/black eye for the team that was never going to sniff an MLB fIeld in a braves uniform. And got a contributor to the team in return. Eff the money, it's not hurting us. Win

 

[Oklahomabrave]

I'd like the trade more if we move Markakis before Monday.

 

[UNCBlue012]

I'd like the trade more if we move Markakis before Monday.

he or Inciarte (I'm about 90% sure it's Nick) is gone. There's no way they stay.

 

[Oklahomabrave]

I would like the trade for Kemp less if we move Inciarte. Markakis and Kemp in the same OF would be brutal.

Yeah. Overpay given we are only getting the 10.5 the Dodgers will be paying.

 

[Carp]

No rush to trade either of them by Thursday. Nick can be traded all the way up to the end of the regular season. He would pass through waivers easily.

 

[Braves1976]

I would like the trade for Kemp less if we move Inciarte. Markakis and Kemp in the same OF would be brutal.

It will kill our fly ball pitchers ERA's too. Markakis and Kemp both have range issues, Kemp more so than Markakis.

Not bad at all actually.

Another plus is Kemp's deal concludes a year sooner than Olivera's.

Damn!! Olivera just DFA'd!!! Lmao
