On Saturday, the Braves and Dodgers completed a four-for-one deal. The swap included players who by the end of 2019 who will have made more than $410 million on their current contracts alone. The swap features the highest notoriety-to-talent and salary-to-skill ratios of any recent transaction, according to The Ringer. Through the deal, the Dodgers shed short-term dead money and add long-term dead money because the players who went from LA to Atlanta are due slightly more than $50 million for 2018 but are not contracted for 2019. Kemp, meanwhile, who is coming to LA, is owed more than $43 million over the next two years.
