Dodgers must regret not letting Kendrick leave in free agency for a comp pick.

They wouldn’t have given Kendrick a QO though.
dodgerfan711
They made him a qualified offer and he declined

The only reason he resigned with the Dodgers is no one was willing to part with the pick. He really didn’t have a market.

Ding, ding, ding, you, B_P_D_LA, good sir are spot on correct!! lol
Kendrick was one of those tweeners that teams didn’t feel like he was good enough to forfeit that pick that was attached to him. So, in the end, he resigned with the Dodgers.

Didn’t he use to be a top prospect?
TheMichigan
Don’t think so. He was ranked as high as 16th best prospect in the Dodgers farm in 2014. Prior to that he was in the mid 20s.
Never ranked on Top Prospect list to my knowledge.

Reds stockpiling young infielders hoping one turns out

He’s soon to be 27, no longer a young prospect.

Sweeney could be the missing piece to reach the championship. Go Bats!

AAA depth that’s all

Agree LA, just filling out a roster

The Reds don’t have a lot of AAA depth at SS and CF (despite a surplus at 2b and COF), so I think Darnell Sweeney is a good pickup. Arismendy Alcantara is currently the third string SS (behind Cozart and Peraza) and CF (behind Hamilton and Schebler) for the Reds, but Darnell Sweeney might be the most direct replacement if Alcantara gets hurt.
Versatile non-roster bench candidates are always welcome. Hopefully he’s a late bloomer who starts hitting with the change of scenery. It’s much easier to imagine a use for him than recent waiver claim Peter O’Brien.

Future considerations…. would that be like promising to call your mother on her birthday?
LA Sam
More like callin a girl who’s a 4 on a slow drunk nite….
