(Reuters) - The Los Angeles Dodgers have re-signed All-Star outfielder Matt Kemp to an eight year deal worth $160 million, the richest player contract the Dodgers have ever signed, the team said on Friday. Kemp, one of the favorites for the National League's Most Valuable Player award, to be announced on Tuesday, had a breakout year in 2011, hitting .324 and leading the league in home runs (39), runs batted in (126) and runs scored (115).
