Washington Nationals: Howie Kendrick’s return is delightful
The Washington Nationals bring back another solid bench piece by signing Howie Kendrick. He can play the outfield and the right side of the infield.
If you get the sense the Washington Nationals are putting the band back together again, you might be right.
Howie Kendrick, the veteran utility outfielder, agreed to a two-year deal with Washington Monday for a minimum of $7 million. Incentives could push the deal over $9 million.
As the Nats battled injuries last summer, Kendrick came over from the Philadelphia Phillies near the trade deadline for pitching prospect McKenzie Mills. The move was an instant success.
