Report: Dodgers aiming to trade Kemp this offseason

A year after being re-acquired by the Los Angeles Dodgers, outfielder Matt Kemp could soon be on the move once again.

Los Angeles will attempt to trade the 34-year-old this offseason, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

The Dodgers tried to flip Kemp last winter after the trade with the Atlanta Braves. They reportedly had no intention of playing him in the regular season but ultimately found no takers.

Initially, it looked like the team accidentally struck gold. Kemp was electric in the first half of the season, batting .310/.352/.522 with 15 home runs, 18 doubles, and 60 RBIs over 92 games. He even earned his first trip to the All-Star Game since 2012.

His numbers cratered as the summer went on, but he still finished with his best campaign since he last donned Dodger Blue.

Kemp, entering the final year of his contract, is owed $21.5 million in 2019.
