One of the most beloved LA Angels in recent memory is Howie Kendrick. The former second base has kept his career going into his late 30’s by morphing himself into an elite utility man. During the Nationals’ World Series run, it seemed Halo fans flocked to support the Nationals strictly due to Kendricks’ presence.
So why not bring him back to root for him on the Halos one more time? Instead, Kendrick signed to stay with the Nationals on a one-year deal with a mutual option for 2021.
While the Angels’ infield is already a strength with Andrelton Simmons, Tommy La Stella, David Fletcher, and Albert Pujols as the starters and Luis Rengifo as the primary backup, there’s still room for improvement.
