Before we talk about Kemp’s season, we need to take a trip down memory lane, and remember how we got here. In December of 2014, the Dodgers sent Kemp to the Padres. In the deal, L.A. acquired current catcher Yasmani Grandal. Not only did the Dodgers part ways with their former superstar, they were going to be paying him $32 million — to NOT play fo...
In his first season with San Diego, Kemp’s bat didn’t appear to miss a beat. He hit 23 home runs and had 100 RBI. His slash-line did, though. His OPS (.755) was the lowest since his rookie season. I’m not going to count 2013 (.723) because he only appeared in 73 games. His wins above replacement was the lowest in five seasons, and the second-lowest...

Kemp has come to the plate 22 times with runners in scoring position. 11 of those times, he’s driven guys in. With runners on, his OPS is 1.251. Not only do these numbers lead the Dodgers, they are among...
Most Dodgers fans didn’t know how they would welcome Kemp back to L.A. They were still salty over the comments he made, claiming Los Angeles wasn’t a good baseball town. By the way, he has since cleared up confusion, saying those weren’t his intentions. He left as an injured player, and with a lot of money on his contract, a lot of money. But now, ...
