Brewers chasing Jason Kendall

Well, talk about committing quite the gaffe in suggesting that Jason Kendall will "probably sign" with the Chicago Cubs. As Tom Haudricourt noted on the Brewers' blog Doug Melvin is pursuing Kendall and might wrap up a deal before Thanksgiving. Kendall's signing will probably result in Johnny Estrada being expendable after having a rather subpar season.

What will it mean if the Brewers are able to sign Jason Kendall? It means the Brewers will deal Johnny Estrada (quickly in my opinion), and if Kendall comes at a decent price, it may actually lead the Brewers to make a bigger offer to Francisco Cordero...or not. We'll have to see what the Brewers are going to do about that!

I'll discuss this more as I learn more. Yet. I think acquiring Jason Kendall will be a huge upgrade for the Brewers in terms of offense, defense and leadership.
