The Kansas City Royals trade:

SS Adalberto Mondesi
OF Elier Hernandez
P Miguel Almonte
P Sam Selman
Kansas City Royals 2014 2nd round pick
Kansas City Royals 2014 3rd round pick
Kansas City Royals 2014 4th round pick
Kansas City Royals 2014 5th round pick


to the Los Angeles Dodgers for:

OF Matt Kemp (21.33, 2019)

[Jesse (Dodgers) (LM)]

I accept. Michael adds Matt Kemp to the Royals outfield to go along with Alex Gordon and Yoennis Cespedes. I get prospects and picks in return without having to ask for any that might contribute to his 2014 and possibly 2015 teams. Good luck to Michael and the Royals.

[Brandon (Twins) (LM)]

Kemp was nearly given away here. However, 21+ million is no joke, and maybe that shoulder surgery will hinder Kemp for a long while.

I'm sure Kemp would have received more than 21M in free agency, thus, not making his contract all too bad, but there are questions marks.

Approve

[Troy (Cubs) (LM)]

I agree with Brandon.

Looks like I'm in the minority, but LAD got a serious haul for a 21M OF that can't stay on the field. Love Mondesi, Almonte, and Hernandez. Selman has nice potential as well, then a boatload of picks as well.

I pass, but I think long term KC really regrets this one.
