Matt Kemp wants a trade

63

Matt Kemp's agent says he thinks Kemp should be traded. I still wonder whether a deal of Kemp for Marlon Byrd and a good prospect would make sense. Salary-wise, I think they are close enough to be ok for the Dodgers financial situation. The prospect would have to be significant for the Dodgers to sell the deal to fans, but Byrd is outperforming Kemp this year and the organization/fans seemed to have soured on Kemp this year, and Byrd would be very popular out there (as he'd be anywhere, since he's awesome). Broxton is struggling as well, but as a courtesy to Al I'll hold off on any Byrd/Marmol for Kemp/Broxton suggestions.
