Super Agent Dave Stewart suggested to the LA Times that it might be time for the Dodgers to trade Matt Kemp to fill some organizational holes.
In a phone interview with Bill Plaschke, Stewart says "It's almost like it's open season on Matt, and it's not right. It's a bunch of back-seat crap."
Stewart is most likely referring to the issues Kemp has had with coaches Bob Schaefer and Larry Bowa.
Kemp was even benched this week, as his poor play continues to perplex Dodger fans and managerial staff.
Stewart goes on to suggest the hostile working environment is to blame for Kemp's poor performance, "It's very, very difficult to play under the circumstances that Kemp is playing under."
At only 25 years old and a contract worth just under $7 million for next season, (Kemp enters free agency in 2012) Stewart thinks the Dodgers could fill some holes in their team by trading Kemp (while he continues to maintain that he's not demanding his star client be traded).
Dodger GM Ned Colletti refutes the idea that Kemp in another uniform is a good idea;
"No, I have no plans to trade him," said Colletti. "He's got a chance to be one of the best players in the history of the franchise."
