Former Dodgers All-Star Matt Kemp among handful of veterans on Team USA roster

Matt Kemp: Not done yet.

The longtime Dodgers outfielder is joining Team USA in its bid for a spot in this summer’s Olympic Games. Kemp, a three-time All-Star, is one of several former major leaguers on the 28-man USA roster.

Israel, Mexico, South Korea and host Japan have qualified for the six-team Olympic baseball field. The U.S. can secure a spot by winning one of the two remaining qualifying tournaments: the first starting next week in Florida; the second next month in Mexico.

Kemp, 36, is unsigned this season and could use a strong Olympic performance to generate interest from major league teams.
