Kemp deal is all but done with the original deal still in effect. Padres asked for more money but the Dodgers said no way Jose.
Padres also traded for Norris from the A's. They are really going for it next year.

The full trade is Norris, right-hander Seth Streich and an international signing slot to the Padres with right-handers Jesse Hahn and R.J. Alvarezgoing to Oakland, Yahoo Sports’ Jeff Passan reports.
<p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, 'Helvetica Neue', 'Nimbus Sans L', sans-serif;font-size:13px;">Norris, 25, hit .270/.361/.403 with 10 homers in 442 plate appearances with the A’s last season, earning his first All-Star appearance in the process. The right-handed hitting Norris did much of his damage against lefty pitching (.863 OPS vs. LHP, .699 OPS vs. RHP) and in the first half of the season, as he hit only .240/.324/.335 after the All-Star break. Norris is still a year away from arbitration eligibility and he’s under team control through the 2018 season.
