Howie Kendrick

Howie Kendrick traded from Dodgers to Phillies

The Philadelphia Phillies acquired second baseman/outfielder Howie Kendrick from the Dodgers in exchange for infielder/outfielder Darnell Sweeney and first baseman/outfielder Darin Ruf.

What It Means:

For now, Kendrick is considered the everyday option in left field for Philadelphia, but the expectation is that he will wind up on second following a Cesar Hernandez trade.

Kendrick disappointed with a .255/.326/.366 slash across 543 plate appearances last season. He finished with eight home runs and 65 RBI's.
