10:20 AM ET 10.10 | The Nationals would have interest in targeting Los Angeles Dodgers center fielder Matt Kemp in a trade if the Dodgers make him available, according to a baseball source. Their potential interest in Kemp and other outfielders on the free agent market shows the Nationals may be open to a creative solution should they not re-sign first baseman Adam Dunn.

The Dodgers just want to not pay Kemp's salary.

Realistically, Kemp does not want to play in LA. Any where would be a fresh start for him.

They're not that far apart. In fact, I would venture that the Nats have a better pitching staff going forward than the Dodgers do. Fewer fruitcups named Blake, as well.

They're about 11 wins apart, although Torre leaving will probably close that gap a little bit. The Dodgers problem this year wasn't their pitching staff, it was their complete lack of ability to score when it mattered, and even when it didn't matter.
