southsider2k5 Posted January 9, 2012 Author Share Posted January 9, 2012 http://espn.go.com/los-angeles/mlb/story/_...cording-reports The Los Angeles Angels made a major splash in free agency at the winter meetings, but Saturday they locked up one of their own. More on the Angels For more news, notes and analysis of the Angels, check out Mark Saxon's blog. The team and second baseman Howie Kendrick have reached agreement on a four-year contract extension worth $33.5 million, according to multiple reports. Kendrick, 28, was coming off his finest major league season, in which he batted .285 with 18 home runs and a .464 slugging percentage and made the American League All-Star team. Kendrick was going into his final season of arbitration eligibility, so the deal buys out three seasons of his free agency. Angels general manager Jerry Dipoto, who signed slugger Albert Pujols and ace left-hander C.J. Wilson for more than $320 million combined earlier this winter, has also opened preliminary discussions with Kendrick's double-play partner, Erick Aybar, on a multiyear extension. Kendrick was one of the Angels' brightest prospects through the minor leagues, where he batted .360, but his progress in the majors was far from linear. The team demoted him to Triple-A midway through the 2009 season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True. And you can't say that he makes up for it with his glove either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll clearly get a couple offers for minor league contracts with spring training invites, but it's the major league deal that he would likely want to get.

Jordan4life_2007 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 (edited) Reds Sign Madson Only 1 year at 8.5 million? That's a steep drop from the 4/44 he was supposedly close to signing last year. Looks like Boras botched this one. Anyway, great deal for the Reds. They've had quite an off-season.

flavum Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Selig extended through 2014. Shocker he didn't retire. I also like how mlb.com doesn't allow comments when they have stories about Selig. Coincidence? I think not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILMOU Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Slightly bummed that Luke Scott signed with the Rays today. Was hoping that he was on our radar as the last OF/Dunn insurance/LHPH, but I imagine that $5M + incentives was a bit steep for those duties, given our budget. Frankly, I'm a bit surprised he was able to get so much coming off last season, but lefties with power will always get paid, I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
