HOWIE KENDRICK RUMORS

If Phillies veteran Howie Kendrick can play third base, there could be a trade fit with the Yankees. A trade fit between the Yankees and Phillies could be forming as the countdown to the MLB trade deadline unfolds. With third base continuing to profile as a glaring issue in the Bronx, the Yankees can use an upgrade over Chase Headley. If a...

Howie Kendrick makes his first appearance on the leaderboard!

Andrew Heaney was hoping to avoid having Tommy John surgery, but it looks like he will be unable to do so. Heaney announced on Twitter that will have the surgery on his elbow Friday after he did not respond to stem cell treatment as well as hoped. pic.twitter.com/vfyGBYuxOt — Andrew Heaney (@Heandog8) July 1, 2016 The Angels also sent out a press release sharing the same...

When the Dodgers re-signed Howie Kendrick, it looked like a really good deal. They were bringing back one of the most consistent hitters in baseball at a cheaper than expected price. But so far in the 2016 season, he has been downright awful. Even with a 4-hit game on Tuesday night, Kendrick is hitting just .197/.222/.213 with an 18 wRC+ and -0.6 WAR. None of that is good. He has...

The Dodgers have opted to go for depth rather than flash this offseason, building a roster that can compete in the NL West and hopefully withstand the rigors of a full season instead of spending big on a name. It’s a calculated strategy that the Dodgers hope will give them one of the strongest all-around teams in the league. That strategy was on full display when Los Angeles brought...

LOS ANGELES (AP) The Dodgers finalized their $20 million, two-year contract with free-agent Howie Kendrick on Thursday, bringing back the second baseman in part because of his willingness to play multiple positions. Kendrick had turned down a $15.8 million, one-year qualifying offer from the team in November. That rejection left the Dodgers as the only club that could sign the...

Over the weekend, the Dodgers and Diamondbacks made a pair of related transactions. On Friday night, after failing to find a suitor due to the specter of a potential lost draft choice, Howie Kendrick re-signed with the Dodgers for a relative pittance; $20 million over the next two years. Given that Kendrick turned down the qualifying offer, which would have guaranteed him $15.8 million...

There’s been sort of a will-they/won’t-they thing going on with Arizona this offseason. They’re the team that probably makes the most sense for free agent Howie Kendrick. Kendrick is a second baseman, the Diamondbacks could arguably use a second baseman, and the front office there has made it clear they want to win in the season ahead. So, Kendrick would make them better, and...

Howie KendrickBats: Right — Throws: RightPosition: Second BaseBorn: July 12, 1983 (Age 32) I have heard many people say that former Angels and Dodgers second baseman Howie Kendrick is the right-handed Daniel Murphy. While I disagree on some levels, I can absolutely see where they are coming from. Kendrick has been one of the most consistent hitters in the majors, and at second...

Chase Utley put himself squarely in the middle of the NLDS rivalry between the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Mets with a controversial takeout slide on Saturday night that injured Ruben Tejada. The Dodgers had runners on the corners down 2-1 to the Mets in the 7th inning of Game 2 of the series when Howie Kendrick hit into a fielder's choice. Second baseman Daniel Murphy flipped...
