Dodgers needed to keep Kemp. After the season they had, Kemp and Kershaw were their only bright spots. Dodgers need to try to go after Fielder next.

Matt Kemp Agrees To Eight-Year Extension

The Dodgers and Matt Kemp have agreed to an 8-year contract worth $160 million. (Pending Physical)

This is the largest contract in Dodgers history. Kevin Brown held the orginal contract record with his $105 million

This is amazing news. Kemp loves Los Angeles and I couldn't see him playing anywhere else. I just hope he keeps his numbers up and the Dodgers sign another big bat to help him out.

USA Today reports the story.
