Matt Kemp is headed back to the Dodgers — for now. The trade appears to be an attempt by the Dodgers to shed payroll, and Kemp’s second go-round in L.A. could be short-lived. In making the deal, the Dodgers moved below the luxury-tax threshold for the first time in five seasons. — Ken Rosenthal (@Ken_Rosenthal) December 16, 2017Regarding any #Dodgers effort to trade Kemp: It won’t be easy, unless they attach at least one significant prospect. Kemp played in 115 games for the Braves in 2017, batting .276 with 19 homers and 64 RBI.
