Dodgers trade verdugo, will Smith,Dennis Santana for kluber
Trade puig, Alex wood to reds for Homer Bailey, prospects. (To dump money)
Sign Harper 10 yr 350 mill with a player option after his 6th and 8th year and each year the money keeps increasing.
Sign veteran catcher.
Is this semi realistic?

Taking on Kluber, Bailey, and Harper is adding 75M in salary next year. Plus a veteran catcher at, let's say, 8M on average. After moving Wood and Puig, we're down to about 63M. That puts the Dodgers over 250M, estimated.
The owners have been very adamant about remaining under 200M next season. So I find this very unrealistic.

Then they could also move Kemp and that would save them 23 mill.

Who’s going to take him? I can’t imagine there are many interested parties and I can’t imagine the Dodgers are willing to attach a prospect to him just to get rid of him.

The Reds took him, which is interesting. They only had to attach three very useful depth pieces to him.
AND, they are still expected to be over 180M in payroll. It'll be interesting to see what LA does.

Apparently the Reds.

I think the dodgers now either could trade for kluber or sign Harper.
If they trade Ryu or hill they could shed more salary and possibly get Harper and kluber.
Another possibility would be signing Pollock.

If they want to stay under the luxury tax, they still don't have room for Harper.

Part of the reason for the Puig/ Kemp trade was depth, they had way to many outfielders and they still have a logjam after this trade, so all the hype about them becoming front runners for Harper is overblown. Could they sign him, sure, will they, that remains to be seen.
