Former Dodgers’ Outfielder Matt Kemp Cut From Marlins

Dodgers fans were heartbroken the first time that Matt Kemp was traded away from Los Angeles. He was a part of the trade that sent Yasmani Grandal to Los Angeles, but Kemp eventually made his way back to LA in 2018.

When he came back to the Dodgers in 2018, he wasn’t even supposed to make the roster after Spring Training,. Many wondered if Los Angeles would just cut him in general before camp broke. But Kemp hung around and hit like a mad man, putting together a .290/.338/.481 slash line with 21 home runs and plenty of big moments.
