Cubs trade Rob Bowen and minor league left hander Jerry Blevins for Jason Kendall and cash considerations. Bowen was acquired in a trade earlier this year when the Cubs sent embattled catcher Michael Barrett to the Padres for Bowen. Blevins was the 17th round selection of the Cubs in the 2004 Amateur draft.
Jim Hendry came into the broadcast booth in the 6th inning of Monday’s game against the San Francisco Giants to announce the trade.
I think this move will help the Cubs immensely. Jason Kendall is on the tail end of his career, but he can hit, and he can get on base. The Cubs can always use help in that area. He’s a solid defensive catcher who can handle a pitching staff. Kendall is a 3 time All Star who has struggled this year. A return to the National League will probably serve Kendall very well.
