Adrian Gonzalez, who spent the past six seasons in a Los Angeles Dodgers uniform, tweeted a farewell to the organisation, his team-mates and fans in the wake of the surprise trade sending him to the Atlanta Braves. The Dodgers acquired outfielder Matt Kemp, who spent the first nine seasons of his MLB career in Los Angeles, for Gonzalez, pitchers Brandon McCarthy and Scott Kazmir, infielder Charlie Culberson and cash considerations. The Braves announced they have designated Gonzalez for assignment.
