Kendall is a no risk deal for the Cubs. He is in the last year of his contract and if he is a bust, you just let him walk.

 

I think this is a decent acquisition if for no other reason that you do not want to try to get to the post season with two unproven catchers (Hill and Soto).

 

It is a good move to have a veteran catcher on the staff that has been "through the wars". According to Beane, Kendall's greatest strength has been the handling and rapport he had with the young pitching staff of the Athletics.

 

Going to a team like the Cubs with a chance for post-season play may just give him a new life.

 

You also risk him putting up a .550 OPS black hole. His salary could impact a bigger deal later. I'm praying Kendall has enough left in the tank for four months.

Lots of overreaction today...you'd think we hadn't won 14 of 19 or whatever it is...

 

You're right. I'm sure we'll continue to win at that rate. Bring on Kendall!

LOL...yeah that's what I said..sure.

 

My point is that it's one game...I don't think a loss (if it even is that) is reason for "might as well actively root for the Brewers."
