And getting Kemp probably means either Markakis is gone, or we just got Kemp to flip him to another team.

Given a choice though, I'd rather have Kemp than Markakis. Kemp is still productive and has 23 homers playing half his games at Petco this season.

Maybe we'll trade Enciarte.

They can get more for Markakis too, probably.

Inciarte is younger, cheaper, under team control for another few years and has more upside. Inciarte has more trade value, but I think he;s part of the future plans.

Kemp is injury prone and he's signed for 3 more years, and we have to pay him.

While, I think we did get the better end of the deal, I wouldn't call it a fleece of the Padres.

But, with the 10-12 million coming our way from the Pads and Olivera's salary coming off the books, it's like getting Kemp for 8.5 million per season, which is about on par for his level of production.
For Olivera (The Human Shit Sack) it is pretty much a fleecing. I think I heard Olivera is already DFA'd.

If so, I'm definitely not complaining.

Getting rid of Olivera was important IMO, and taking on a bad contract for an injury prone, yet still productive player is really the best we could have hoped for without just cutting Olivera and eating his contract. Plus the Pads are sending us 10-12 million with Kemp.

The Olivera deal was really the only horrible move the Braves have made (luckily, the two players sent to the Dodgers haven't done much since).

Coppi just undid that disaster. Well done Sir!

Wow, I'm honestly surprised that both Markakis and Tehran are still here. I thought we'd be trading one of them.

I hear we've been playing better than absolute garbage. I've come here to change that.
