December 18, 20196 yr And just like with Grandy, they probably have a handshake agreement with him to give him a roster spot. The minor league deal just keeps him off the 40-man in the meantime.
December 18, 20196 yr Buy now mode. Impressive. Coming soon, Matt Kemp to your starting outfield opening day 2020.
December 18, 20196 yr If it's their Nick Castellanos then I'm really done with this team !!! what a joke !!!
December 18, 20196 yr If it's their Nick Castellanos then I'm really done with this team !!! what a joke !!! Castellanos isn't happening. Never was. He has no reason to sign below market and it is the only price they are willing to pay.
December 18, 20196 yr Kemp couldn't fit as a full time OF (cause of horrible defense). I think FO add him as a 1B + part time corner OF.
December 18, 20196 yr Castellanos isn't happening. Never was. He has no reason to sign below market and it is the only price they are willing to pay. I'm rather to believe it's just a depth move and they're still want to sign Puig or Dickerson, but maybe I'm wrong …
December 18, 20196 yr Author They still have a chance to "fix" this, but until they actually sign someone else (one of the other guys we've talked about), this looks like their "big OF move"
December 18, 20196 yr Don't see a problem with it personally. It is a no risk signing, the problem is if this is their FA move of the off-season for a bat. If there is more coming, then no problem with this move.
December 18, 20196 yr It's a minor league deal and he's fallen off a cliff so he might not even make the team but yea if this is it and/or if he gets the Granderson handshake deal then yeah fuck them this is bad. Really bad.
December 18, 20196 yr It is a no risk signing, the problem is if this is their FA move of the off-season for a bat. If there is more coming, then no problem with this move. It might look worse than it is because of timing, they were out on everyone and then this shit happens and it looks like this is our big move. If they actually add beyond this and Kemp is just a minor league depth signing than yeah ok. But, to get one step ahead of you: let's believe it when we see it.
December 18, 20196 yr [MEDIA=twitter]1207322355535613952[/MEDIA] So we are done with the Yankee route, going to collect all the former Dodgers next.

December 18, 20196 yr It is a no risk signing, the problem is if this is their FA move of the off-season for a bat. If there is more coming, then no problem with this move. Does it matter if we sign a big offseason bat this year? Is this the time to compete?
December 18, 20196 yr So even can't afforded to a cheap major league contract FA !? Kemp is not good enough for that. If you are suggesting they should have offered Kemp a major league contract you are wrong. They should be making major league offers but not to this guy.
December 18, 20196 yr Does it matter if we sign a big offseason bat this year? Is this the time to compete? It doesn't have to be "time to compete" to show you're capable of improving the team especially when you make statements about doing just that.
December 18, 20196 yr Does it matter if we sign a big offseason bat this year? Is this the time to compete? I think it matters more because they said it was time to add and if Matt Kemp is the big addition they're insane. Also gotta show an effort to not have a 3rd 100 loss season in a row.
December 18, 20196 yr The impact on the team’s other reputed offseason pursuits remains to be seen, but it seems fair to presume the signing won’t take the club out of the rest of the corner outfield market entirely. -MLBTradeRumors. Let's hope.
