Sources tell PhillyGameday.com that the Phillies have designated Kyle Kendrick as a ‘very touchable’ prospect. The source indicated that the team wants to make clear that he is not among the list of off-limit prospects and would prefer to include him in any deal for anyone at all.

Though the news has yet to be confirmed by the Phillies, general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. did adress the media on Thursday about being anxious to dump players on other teams.

“There are some ‘extremely touchables’ in our system,” Amaro said. “There are players we would like to keep for our future and then there are guys we would cram in a basket and leave at another team’s front door. I won’t name drop, but let’s be real here. . . you know exactly who I’m talking about.”
