  Larry Reynolds, the baseball agent, was talking about Matt Kemp, his client. And at the time, when it was generally assumed that the Dodgers had acquired Kemp for the express purpose of finding someone with which to offload his contract, it sounded like, well, an agent talking up his client.
  “He wants to play for the Dodgers,” Reynolds said then. “He wants to win a World Series. He’s gone out thi
