    Heath Bell for only 4 million, better believe at the trade deadline playoff contending teams will be banging down the door for a top closer like Bell at that price!

    That’s a nice contract-and a fair one-for Matt Kemp. In fact, I think all of those contracts mentioned seem pretty fair-for both sides.
