The Brewers signed Jason Kendall to a one-year contract Wednesday. The deal also includes an option that could become guaranteed. Kendall will start for the Brew Crew with Johnny Estrada now in New York. | November 20, 2007
The Brewers appear close to signing free agent Jason Kendall to a deal. GM Doug Melvin is hoping to get the catcher under contract before Thanksgiving. "We're still talking," Melvin said in the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. "But we're not the ones to say we have a deal." If Kendall is brought in, the team will likely try and trade Johnny Estrada. | September 28, 2007
Geovany Soto, not Jason Kendall, was in the lineup Thursday, one day after manager Lou Pinella said Kendall would be his catcher over the final few games. Piniella told the Chicago Sun-Times Soto was in the lineup because of the day game after a night game and suggested Kendall would be in the lineup for all three games at Cincinnati this weekend. | September 27, 2007
Jason Kendall was back in the lineup Wednesday after not starting for a week. Kendall had been nursing a thumb injury, though he said he didn't need any time off. "The thumb's been fine," he said in the Chicago Sun-Times. "It's always been fine. And there's plenty of time to rest in the offseason." Geovany Soto, who had been playing in place of Kendall, is hitting .421 this month and the Cubs are 7-2 when he starts, but manager Lou Pinella said he will go with Kendall the rest of the way. "In the situation we're in, we stay as veteran as we can and utilize that experience," Piniella said Wednesday. "I would expect [Kendall] to catch for sure four of the five remaining games, possibly all five." | July 26, 2007
The Cubs plan to split the catching duties between Jason Kendall and Koyie Hill, at least in the short term, the Chicago Tribune reports. | July 16, 2007
The Cubs acquired Jason Kendall on Monday in a trade with the Athletics for catcher Rob Bowen and minor league left-hander Jerry Blevins, according to the AP. "We certainly feel we're going to be in it the rest of the way. His character and his leadership is terrific. We feel he's still got a lot left in the tank," Cubs general manager Jim Hendry said. Kendall was batting only .226 for the A's this season with two homers and 22 RBI. | July 15, 2007
Jason Kendall was given a routine day off Saturday, the AP reports. We assume you didn't miss him much, as Kendall is having an ugly season (.228 average, .284 slugging, two homers). | March 21, 2007
Jason Kendall is scheduled for a routine day off Wednesday, the Athletics official site reports. He's hitless in his last 17 at-bats. | March 9, 2007
Bob Geren is leaning towards Jason Kendall in the leadoff spot with Shannon Stewart batting second, according to the Contra Costa Times. "It's kind of like having two No.1 guys back-to-back really," Geren said. "If I have them 1-2, I'd rather have Stewart second just for (avoiding hitting into) the double-play-type thing." | January 28, 2007
Jason Kendall is entering the final year of his contract and is hoping to rework his deal with the A's, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. GM Billy Beane said he would sit down and talk with Kendall to discuss it. Kendall will receive $13 million this season, though the Pirates will pay $5 million of it. |
