Astros Acquire Martin Maldonado For Tony Kemp

By Connor Byrne | July 31, 2019 at 11:57am CDT

The Astros have acquired catcher Martin Maldonado from the Cubs, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports. Outfielder/second baseman Tony Kemp is going to Chicago in return, per Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle.

This is the second trade of the month for Maldonado, whose Cubs tenure was fleeting. They acquired Maldonado from the Royals for left-hander Mike Montgomery on July 15. At the time, the Cubs had just lost their starting catcher, Willson Contreras, to the injured list. He quickly returned, though, making Maldonado a superfluous piece for a team that already had the capable Victor Caratini as its reserve backstop.

The Astros reportedly pursued Maldonado before his trade to the Cubs, and he’ll now head to Houston for the second straight year. The club previously acquired Maldonado from the Angels last July. Maldonado now figures to supplant Max Stassi, who’s out of options and could now be on his way to a trade or a designation for assignment, as Robinson Chirinos’ backup. Stassi’s a quality defender who hasn’t hit this year, which doesn’t make him much different than the 32-year-old Maldonado. However, even Maldonado’s paltry .217/.285/.349 line easily outdoes Stassi’s .167/.235/.211 showing.

Maldonado, who’s earning the balance of a $2.5MM salary, will be a free agent at season’s end. Kemp, on the other hand, could be a multiyear piece for the Cubs. Kemp won’t be eligible for arbitration until after next season, though the Cubs won’t have the option of sending him to the minors without subjecting him to waivers. The 27-year-old’s time in Houston came to an end when it designated him on July 25.

Kemp, to his credit, had been amid his second straight useful offensive campaign before the Astros booted him from their roster. He has slashed .227/.308/.417 with seven home runs, four steals and a terrific 15.6 percent strikeout rate across 186 plate appearances this year, also logging 25-plus appearances at second and in the outfield.

The Cubs had been seeking help at second and in the outfield prior to this trade. Whether Kemp will be enough to satisfy those needs remains to be seen. The club could acquire further help at either position in the next few hours, but it does expect to get second baseman/outfielder Ben Zobrist back from the restricted list later in the season.

Blames the outside world for their unhappiness and life situation and takes their misery out on everyone else. Etc. Etc. Etc.

          Haha, I still can’t believe White Sux trolls are actually a thing. It would be comical if it weren’t so damn pathetic and transparent. I mean who can blame them for being obsessed with anything Cubs. Of course they pounce on anything that mentions the Cubs, even a small move like this. Anything to avoid the clown college on the south side. Been “rebuilding” since 2011 with one of the worst records in all of baseball since then.

          As they finish up year 8 of the rebuild, they still can’t draft, still can’t convince star free agents to sign there, still can’t develop… yep, I would be obsessing about another team too if I were them. Haha

      Cubs so busy trading same player back and forth that they aren’t getting anything substantial done.

      Losers again last night. Really ought to look for a new closer. Someone successful like Colome.

      I don’t care what the FIP stats say, Colome has only blown 1 save all season long. A real competitor. 21/22

      Meanwhile Cubs spend $14 mil per year on Kimbrel! $43 mil! Ha!

      All of baseball laughing at the Cubs. Kimbrel 0-2, 2 BS, 6.75 ERA. For $43 mil. Cubs bullpen and budget handcuffed for next 2-3 years.

        I agree with ChiSox. He (or she) makes a lot of good points, especially when he (or she) points out that Kimbrel has had a short season and it would be absurd to generalize / project his performance thus far over the life of his contract. Good point, Chi! He’s (or she’s) also right that it’s not a closer we need, but probably a solid 8th inning guy who can hand the game over the Kimbrel. Starting to make some good points!

        Colome would be a nice add. Still not sure why they traded away a cost controlled catcher who is hitting 300 with 16 HR’s for 2 years of Colome though, especially since they won’t be competing during those years. Seems odd, like a Mets-esque deal.

        As a White Sox fan, you really should care what the stats say. Seeing as how the competitive window should be wide open in 2021, coupled with the depth of talent in the Sox minor league system, and the fact that the White Sox have shown the consistent ability to develop pitchers; those facts should make you want Hahn to flip Colome for prospects.

          The Cubs got him for Maldonado. He’s not gonna be Babe Ruth. Kemp can hit RH pitching pretty well and he’s got good speed. He’s a solid defender but always a bench guy for Houston. He’s not going to the all star game any time soon but he’s a solid player.

          I stand by the not so good assessment. He is fast, but not a good base stealer. Lifetime .697 OPS. Barely better this year. OK move for the cash strapped Cubbies, but again not the impact bat they need.

    Kemp was almost immediately linked to the Cubs at the time of his DFA. His statline this year doesn’t look great, but his BABIP is well below what one would expect for a guy with his speed. I like the move for both teams, as the Astros have been a fan of Maldonado for a long time and it gives the Cubs some outfield and infield depth.

        MM rates below average in pitch framing rhe past two years. His defense has to do with keeping balls in front of him … which, for whatever it’s worth, would’ve been useful last night.

      Monty had a good run with the Cubs, but he has been downright awful this year and a raise in salary is pretty certain, despite his struggles this season. The Cubs have some upper minor depth and Holland could be used as a 6th or 7th starter if need be. All in all, it’s not a horrible move for the Cubs, as they filled Monty’s vacancy and got a decent OF/If bench piece.

    I’ve always liked Kemp from afar but he obviously won’t shift the needle in the Cubs favor alone. That said….Anybody, and I mean ANYBODY, is better then what the Cubs have run out there this year in the lead-off spot. Joe desperately needs that “toy” taken away from him. There is nothing scarier to me then when Joe says he is “intrigued” by something, i.e. Kyle Schwarber as a lead-off hitter.

      Salient point. And honestly this is just an organizational/depth move so it’s not as if this signals anything really. They’re at a breaking point right now. They have the vast bulk of their organizational talent at the major league level and their draft picks have no longer been shooting fish in a barrel like the Bryant/Contreras/Baez days. They don’t have a lot in the minors to trade for a star without emptying it, they don’t have much in the way of impact players in the minors to plug in, and they have too much money tied up in the way of massive contracts in the majors to lure anyone in. I don’t really know exactly what they can do.

    Nothing against Tony Kemp. Seems like a good all around guy who can play a couple of positions from the previous posts. But he does not help the cause and that’s winning the NL Central. The Cub’s roster seems to be full of mediocre/or below,versatile players who just don’t seem good enough to nail down a consistent spot on the field (Bote, Descalso, Happ, Almora, Garcia). Maybe this move leads to Decalso’s DFA.

    Tony Kemp is the sort of situational contact hitter the team has been lacking since trading Tommy LaStella in the off-season. He will be given a chance to play here in Chicago since second and center field are the positions where the team doesn’t have a locked in regular starter. He was blocked in Houston by two of the better players in baseball at their position. At the very least he helps balance the team and gives Maddon more late inning options for running and defense.
