"Good news, so hard to come by from the Dodgers for two years now, is set to arrive like an unexpected tidal wave.

Matt Kemp is on the verge of signing a long-term deal with the Dodgers that would be the largest contract in team history. Multiple reports have pegged the deal at eight years and $160 million.

The Dodgers are scheduled to unveil a new Dream Field this afternoon in Compton and Kemp, who was not originally scheduled to attend, has been added to the ceremony, where the contract could be announced.

Fox Sports first reported Monday that Kemp and the Dodgers were close to finalizing a deal that would be the seventh-largest contract in baseball history. The Dodgers' previous contract record was the $105-million deal they gave to Kevin Brown back in 1998."
