Braves acquire Matt Kemp

[BrewCrewFan]

The Braves and Padres have agreed to a swap of bad contracts, announcing a trade of Hector Olivera from Atlanta to San Diego in exchange for Matt Kemp and cash considerations (which reportedly total $10.5MM). If there was any question about this being a purely financial move from the Padres’ vantage point, that was answered with the news that Olivera will be immediately designated Olivera for assignment once his suspension is complete.

Weird trade, Kemp was having a good year with the bat and at least gives the Braves a little bit of star power heading into the new stadium
