"This allows him the opportunity to go and find some playing time," new Braves general manager Alex Anthopoulos said. The deal made sense for the Braves, too, since the players they acquired all have expiring contracts. The outfielder hit .276 with 19 homers, 64 RBIs and 23 doubles in 115 games last season with the Braves. Moving Kemp opens up a potential roster spot for top Braves prospect Ronald Acuna, who turns 20 on Monday. He is owed $12 million in the last year of a $48 million, four-year deal.
