Pointing The Finger At Kemp Again
-
Clubhouse cancer?
Now that word has leaked out of the locker room, are we to believe the Dodgers would actually trade Matt Kemp? I believe they’ve been considering it for some time. I’ve sensed they wanted to part ways with Kemp for at least the last 2 seasons, when Joe Torre, who apparently has his own problems agreeing to a new deal with the club, seemed unusually cool about Kemp despite his hot hitting and outstanding play.
From a chat with ESPN’s Tony Jackson on Wednesday: “Earl, I have it on good authority (NOT from Colletti, from others) that if anything, Ned UNDERSTATED the issues with Kemp. This kid is really full of himself, to the point that it is becoming an issue in the clubhouse. I’m not saying they WILL trade him. I still think there is less than a 50% chance that they will. I’m just saying that if they do trade one of their core young players, he probably will be the one, not only because of these issues but also because he would have the most value.”
The “good authority” is obviously himself, but he doesn’t expand on the comment. We’ll hear more though at some point.
Wonder does it have anything with some of the company Kemp keeps? The GQ shoots? His so-called attitude? Or did he stand Tony up one too many times?
