Braves would love to find value on Kemp, Phillips, and Adams. Considering how cheap they got each player if they receive a quality prospect for each they've upgraded the future.

I think Adams could be a value to a team in the AL that either is not strong at 1B or DH position. Possible the Yankees, Twins, Rangers, or Royals.

Yankees have inquired from reports... Not sure how serious they are. I'd hate to give up any top 20 prospect for him

I can't stand the Yankees but they have some very good prospects. I wouldn't mind the Braves stealing a couple. Estevan Florial and Zack Littell are two that I like.

Adams definitely has value. It's probably more to an AL team where he can DH in addition to playing first. Wouldn't mind seeing him and Vizcaino packaged for a better prospect.

Kemp- his huge contract overcomes his value as a player. The Braves would likely have to eat more than half of his salary just to "dump" him, and even more to get even a B prospect.


Phillips- just my .02 but I think the guy has more value to the Braves as a mentor to Swanson than he would bring in return.

Aren't the Dodgers/Padres paying most of his contract?

Phillips has been difficult to trade before plus many contenders have a 2B option. Cleveland has Kipnis but he is struggling

This is what Cardinals fans were hoping for with Adams, then he got Matheny'd. And had little value, but was given away for literally free to Braves. Who now, with Adams showing his pop, can get flipped for a prospect.

I knew it was a perfect fit, especially with Braves new park playing to power. If Braves flip him for a good prospect, bravo to them. And another flop deal for Mo, gets worked by Braves GM yet again.

Really don't see the value in Kemp or Phillips. Possibly Adams depending on the team

Kemp wouldn't be bad, he is hitting again. His defense is horrible but he is showing he has pop.

Kemp has been pretty bad for like 6 weeks now. I'm not sure how much money the Dodgers are still on the hook for him, but I still don't think he would get you anything

And he was really good in April and the first couple weeks of may. But he's been in a really long slump and is back to looking like the player that he was in San Diego, if not a little worse

I really didn't pay attention how he has gone cold at the plate. In July, he is batting .197 with only two RBI's. June was a rough month also. Even with the struggles, he is still batting .296 with 12 HRs and 40 RBI's. I think he is still valuable but not top valuable. If he did get traded, then I think the best place for him would be in the AL.

So far one bad month, not really counting his 28 AB in July since a 3/4 day can quickly change the perception of the month.
Not sure his contract status and who is paying what at the moment. But he can be worth something as a DH/4th OF to a contender

I think a 6 week slump hurts kemps value a lot more than it would hurt someone else's

I would be surprised if he gets moved because I really don't think you can get anything for him

As I said, a lot would depend on his contract and based on his defense it would have to be an AL team willing to take him. Not sure any contender would need him as that DH/4th OF role.
Astros have Beltran, Sox are good, Indians are good, Angels seem fine. So he doesn't have much of chance to be moved to begin with. Could it happen? Sure but would be more for organizational depth.

MLB should offer a MiLB TV package for like 10-25 bucks a year. I wouldn't mind it just to watch certain prospects.

If he was really cheap prospect wise and they wouldn't owe much of his contract I would not be opposed to the Astros taking him. Beltran has struggled
