Your correct, they may ask for that, but in this market they aren't getting it.  There are RH bats available in FA and on the rumored trade market.  
I think we could get him (and a subsidy) for Taylor and Ackley, actually.  OK, we might have to add a minor piece or two, but that would solidify their MI which the loss of Ramirez scrambles.
Taylor + Ackley is worth much less than Paxton and Deej.
LA will nearly have to give away Crawford or Ethier.  Both are saddled with big contracts (for3 or more years) and both come with baggage.  Crawford can not stay healthy and while Ethier can (although he didn't last year), his real value is in CF...but he's pretty bleh, there.  Both are entering Age-33 years, coming off not stellar years In Crawford's case, it is injury related...for 3 years).  Neither fit the M's needs, unless we were to use Ethier in CF and give up Jackson.  But at what gain?
But I'm with you, I think it unlikely they trade Kemp.  
I think we've got an under the radar interest in a FA or trade.
