#Dodgers have indeed made trade, as @jcrasnick reported, but not with #WhiteSox, source tells The Athletic. In process of calling players.

 

well this is awkward...

 

Haha. We hardly knew you Kemp

@McCulloughTimes

Sources: The Dodgers are close to finalizing a three-team trade that would bring LHP Scott Alexander to LA, send RHP Trevor Oaks to KC and send LHP Luis Avilan to White Sox.

 

Wow gonna be prospects involved as Alexander is a stud

As noted before - the only salary the White Sox would really care to shed is Shields, and he's not signed in 2019 so there's no real way the White Sox can send any money back to balance this.

 

That means the only money moving in the deal would be Kemp's deal. The White Sox would basically be taking on $40 million or so in order to get talent from the Dodgers. That's comparable to the price the White Sox paid for Robert, give or take the penalties.

 

In other words, for any version of this to make sense for the White Sox...they better be getting absolute gold back. Not a reclamation project like Joc - or at least not "only Joc", you need a very strong package to make this fair for the White Sox. You want guys who, 14 months ago, would be the top prospect in the White Sox system.

Chances of a team taking on Kemps entire contract? Zero.
