Matt Kemp - Chicago Cub
Been looking over a Cubs board and they are already talking like Matt Kemp is a Cub and that Justin Upton will be the fallback option. Reminder that these two players are still a couple years away from free agency.

Re: Matt Kemp - Chicago Cub
I suppose anything is better than focusing on the present. They have three more years at $18 mil per of Soriano striking out on sliders in the dirt and hopping around left field like a toad, they have to give Zambrano an $18 million golden parachute, $14 million for Dumpster, and they're going to have to decide whether to pick up Ramirez's $16 million option.
I have no idea why the Dodgers would entertain trading Matt Kemp. He's probably the best value in the major leagues this year.

Re: Matt Kemp - Chicago Cub
To me the Cubs situation is pretty clear. They are never going to win by adding players to the current roster. They seem to have a middle infield that could be one of the best in the league, given time. I would sell every high dollar piece I could, spend two year rebulding and then start signing big name free agents.
