The Los Angeles Dodgers will not be able to bid on free agents such as Prince Fielder and Albert Pujols until the team is sold, a source close to Dodgers owner Frank McCourt told ESPN.com on Wednesday.
The team is expected to sell for in the neighborhood of $1.2 billion, the source said, adding the process will likely take 4-6 months, spilling into 2012 and further reducing the Dodgers’ chances of acquiring players through free agency.
The agent for Los Angeles Dodgers center fielder and National League Most Valuable Player candidate Matt Kemp said Wednesday that talks on a long-term contract extension for his client are moving in a positive direction and that he is optimistic an agreement will be reached.
Dave Stewart, Kemp’s San Diego-based agent and himself a former Dodgers pitcher, said his discussions with Dodgers general manager Ned Colletti have been positive and productive.
“I don’t think that it’s going to be difficult, I really don’t,” Stewart said. “I think we should be able to come to something. I have talked with Ned on a few occasions. We have covered some ground, and hopefully, we will be able to put this thing to bed soon.”
Colletti also characterized the negotiations as moving forward.
“We have had some constructive conversations,” Colletti said. “Those conversations have been a little more substantive of late.
Obviously, the difference here is that Kemp is a current player while Pujols, Fielder and others would be new additions, but that’s really just semantics: no one’s arguing that Kemp isn’t in line for a massive contract of his own.
[...] With all of the McCourt garbage of the last few years, with all of the rumors that the Dodgers would be completely neutralized and unable to act this winter, with all of the worry that Kemp & Andre Ethier and maybe even Clayton Kershaw would be gone [...]
