Padres considering voiding the Kemp trade after finding out he has arthritis in both hips. According to ESPN, 2-3 other trades are going to be affected if the Padres void the deal.

In addition, if the Kemp deal crumbles, the Padres might have to rework a three-team trade with the Washington Nationals and Tampa Bay Rays agreed to Wednesday since their interest in catcher Ryan Hanigan -- one of the pieces in that trade -- presumably would be affected by whether Grandal remains a Padre.
