When the Los Angeles Dodgers acquired Matt Kemp from the Atlanta Braves early in the offseason, they made it clear that the move was purely salary-based and that they would attempt to trade him.
Weeks went by without a deal coming to fruition, and that teams may not have interest in acquiring a 33-year-old who is among the worst defensive outfielders in all of baseball and also has had question marks surrounding his attitude in the clubhouse, isn’t much of a surprise.
As it currently stands, Kemp is in Spring Training camp with the Dodgers, and if they are unable to deal him by Opening Day, then he will compete for at-bats in left field.
