Adrian Gonzalez in 6 years with #Dodgers hit 101 HR 448 RBI .280/.339/.454 and won a #GoldGlove in 2014. His value when he arrived reached beyond the numbers. He also was an inclusive teammate.

Kemp was a fan favorite for the Dodgers from 2006-2014. It is possible Kemp never suits up for the team this season, though, with the Dodgers still potentially looking to shed salary for other moves.
Sources: Kemp unlikely to play for #Dodgers. Strong candidate to be traded or released.
