ESPN is reporting the Dodgers are close to an 8 year, $160 million deal with Matt Kemp to keep him on the team.
The Dodgers are also expected to buyout his final year in the current contract for the new deal to take place since its not an extension but a brand new contract. They still seemed barred from making any real free agent signings unless its from their own team.
