You know you play in LA when your hips are the big story of the day. Take that, Kim Kardashian.

I think they'll come out of this looking even worse if they don't take it than if they do.ZigZagCardsFan wrote:Arthritic hips? At 30?
No chance the Fathers agree to this deal now.
But what a mess of potential trades this will be if it weren't to happen.

Why do you say that? I'd rather not pay that much money for a hitter that could end up declining quickly like Albert Belle.BW23 wrote:I think they'll come out of this looking even worse if they don't take it than if they do.ZigZagCardsFan wrote:Arthritic hips? At 30?

He's had his share of injuries. It's not like they're trading for a known MVP. His stock is low because of his injuries. Anything that's already happened could happen again quicker than his hips giving out.ZigZagCardsFan wrote:Why do you say that?

The Padres have sold this new vision based almost solely on getting Kemp. They have to be the leaks of the medical info. If they back out now, it will get very ugly for them in many ways. This is just a squeeze to get more cash from LA.

Re: Update: Kemp to the Padres
What's the benefit to the Padres in leaking the medical info though? Couldn't they have easily pointed to the arthritic hips in private and backed out of the trade due to a failed physical? Would the Dodgers really be more likely to throw in the extra $$$ to complete the deal just because this information is public?

Tim Brown of Yahoo Sports reports that the Dodgers and Padres "have worked through lingering issues" and the Matt Kemp trade is "all but done."
