Braves and Padres closing on swapping resident woman abuser Hector Olivera for out machine iron glove extraordinaire Matt Kemp.
Ideally it'd be an even swap and the Padres can dump Olivera. Or even eat maybe half of Kemp's remaining contract. Meanwhile it opens the door for their outfield prospect Hunter Renfroe. Renfroe hasn't walked at all but he's got plus power and rates well in the field and on the bases. That's a huge improvement over lame duck Kemp even if Renfroe hits at an average clip.
