Brewers reach agreement with Jason Kendall

[Sweet Swinging Billy]

It seems the Rockies are interested as well. I wouldn't mind bringing him back to back up Soto but I think he prefers starting. Anyway, here you go.

Gotta get rid of Blanco if you're going to bring Kendall back.

[Butterscup1679666578]

For the money I'd rather keep Hank as the backup catcher. Kendall can stay away.

[BigbadB]

Kendall would be a good fit in Colorado.

[cbbryan]

Kendall would be a good fit in Colorado.

 

He might hit for some power there. His splits will probably be awful though.

Come on, get us a draft pick Kendall.

What type FA is he?

If he's signed before the arb deadline, we'll get a sammich.

Which, as many have already said, works in the Cubs favor.

Meaning no team would have to give up a draft pick in order to sign him. :D

I wouldn't mind keeping Kendall as the backup if the price was right. At least he can hit a little bit. Very little, but that's still more than Hank White can.

[Andy]

I'd like to see Milwaukee get Kendall.

might part of the equation for the brewers be the ability to pick kendall's brain about the cubs?

Have you ever heard of a team doing or considering this? Not being sarcastic, I'm just curious.

I'm sure he would let them in on such "secrets" as:

1. Don't throw a first pitch fastball to Soriano, especially in the first inning.

2. Pitch DLee away all of the time.

3. Don't kick to Devin Hester. (oops wrong team :lol: )

It's possible. However, even Daryle Ward will get involved with the stolen base frenzy if Kendall is Milwaukee's C next year.

Now, let's not get out of hand. Kendall was able to throw some people out on delayed steals, and with Ward, every steal is a delayed steal. :D

Daryle might be the one guy Kendall throws out.

[Backtobanks]

Kendall can throw out someone like Ward by using the pitcher as a relay man.

No, he can't.

.242/.301/.309

 

He had one decent month and one great one, but was horrible in every other month. That includes what was hopefully his last month as a Cub, when he hit .183/.279/.233. He's coming off three years of OPS+ at 79, 88 and 63. That's pretty much what Blanco does. They both suck. One will suck more than the other next year, but it's hard to say who it will be.

did johnny estrada die?

[Post Count Padder]

Deal could get done soon:

 

Jason Kendall-C-Cubs Nov. 19 - 11:27 pm et

 

The Brewers and free agent Jason Kendall are negotiating with an eye toward getting a deal done this week.

 

The Journal Sentinel's Tom Haudricourt doesn't believe the Brewers would bring in Kendall with the idea of pairing him with Johnny Estrada. If they do land Kendall, they could part with Estrada for a lesser prospect (to the Mets?) or non-tender him next month.

Sammich City!

[YearofDaCubs]

Would the sandwich pick come after the first round or after the 2nd round?

After the first.

 

The Brewers are going to have one of the worst defenses in history. I can't wait until LaPorta is in left.
