I’m as surprised as you are that Matt Kemp is still a Dodger. After the December trade that brought him back, it was a foregone conclusion he wouldn’t be long for the Dodgers.
But here we are a day before opening day and not only is he still in town, he’ll be slotted into the lineup tomorrow against the Giants (likely in the No. 3 or No. 5 spot).
It was his first (and only) home run at Dodger Stadium after the trade since April 29, 2016, when he was with the Padres.
