Padres trade Matt Kemp to Braves for Hector Olivera

The San Diego Padres pulled off, yet another deal before Monday's trade deadline.

Outfielder Matt Kemp was traded to the Atlanta Braves for outfielder Hector Olivera and cash.

Kemp is owed $21.5 million per year the next three years, and the Padres are subsidizing $3.5 million per year, which they obtained from the Dodgers in their original trade. The Braves rid themselves of Olivera’s $28.5 million obligation, leaving them with Kemp for $25.5 million. So the Braves wind up paying Kemp $8.5 million a year.

The Padres are expected to immediately designate Olivera for assignment. His 82-game suspension for domestic violence ends Tuesday, after he was arrested and charged with one count of misdemeanor assault and battery. Yet, the Padres don’t plan on him wearing their uniform, either.

Olivera originally signed a six-year, $62.5 million deal with the Dodgers on March, 2015, and was traded to the Braves as part of a three-way deal exactly one year ago.

Kemp becomes the seventh player traded on the Padres major league roster over the last two months. In June, the Padres traded pitcher James Shields to the Chicago White Sox and closer Fernando Rodney to the Miami Marlins. In July, they sent  pitcher Drew Drew Pomeranz to the Boston Red Sox, outfielder Melvin Upton Jr. to the Toronto Blue Jays and pitchers Colin Rea and Andrew Cashner to the Miami Marlins.
