Update:
The Dodgers Dreamfield event came and went without an announcement. Numerous sources state that Kemp still needs to take a physical. We'll be watching to see if this signing is completed anytime soon.
Meanwhile, Dodgers announce that second baseman Mark Ellis is signed to a 2 year deal, $ 8.75 million with an option for a third year. The 34 year old Ellis had a poor 2011 campaign. Dodger brass must be hoping that he returns to his 2009/2010 form.
