[yahoolando]

Heading to the Chicago Cubs
P - Wily Peralta AAA
P - Tyler Thornburg AA
P - Jim Henderson AAA
CF - Matt Kemp $20M (2019)

Heading to the Philadelphia Phillies
SP - Justin Masterson $4M (5th year of PC)
SP - Jeff Samardzija $2M (4th year of PC)

The do this to get a bonafide star bat signed at a long term deal.  We will be building our team around Kemp at this time.  Plus we receive 2 good young arms to replace the ones heading out at this time.  Henderson gives a cheap RP too.

Phillies make the trade to get out of a hugh contract of 7 yrs

Received 2 very good pitchers at a reasonable price

The young arms may or may not develop

thanks Yahoolando, good dealing with you

Good deal for both teams. gets a lot of talent. gets to cut Kemps giant contract.  Kemp is definitely awesome, but 20% of your cap space on one player can be constrictive and pretty risky.
