Los Angeles will receive catcher Yasmani Grandal, pitcher Joe Wieland and another prospect, the source said, while the Padres get Kemp and catcher Tim Federowicz.

The prospect is right-hander Zach Eflin, according to multiple media reports.

The Dodgers will also send about $32 million to San Diego to cover part of Kemp's remaining $107 million salary, a source told ESPN.

Kemp is trash. It looks like the Dodgers are going to pay a bunch of his terrible contract so that's a bonus for San Diego.

The Padres and the Cubs should be a couple of the "most improved" teams this coming year.

Edit: (Same) Deal is going through

Matt Kemp's arthritic hips hold up deal with Dodgers

quote:
@Ken_Rosenthal: Regarding @BNightengale report about Kemp having arthritis in both hips: This situation threatens to turn very ugly if deal falls through.

Information damages Kemp in public realm. Gives appearance of Padres trying to leverage medical information. And is a violation of HIPAA.

If deal falls apart, Dodgers' response almost certainly would respond in strongest possible fashion.

So the Dodgers want the info suppressed to try to pull one over on another team? If he has an issue then he has an issue.

napoli went through this with Boston. Sure, it was as a FA, but it changes the terms of his deal significantly.
