After I did the math on his salary, I realized how ridiculous the trade sounded. Kemp is due $107mm over 5.5 years. The Dodgers would have to eat about 1/3 of his salary for the Royals to afford it. And then, the Royals would be paying him between, 12 to 13 million per year. That's a lot but considering what Butler's option is for next year it'd be a steal. But, the Dodgers aren't going to eat 1/3 of his salary.
