Very questionable signing. Kendall is one of the wrost regular catchers in MLB, if not the worst. He can't throw anybody out, and he has developed into a truly horrible hitter.
I reserve judgment on the trade for Mota, because the Brewers always seem to get something out of reclamation projects in the pen, but Kendall is just not a good regular. If you are the Brewers and you want a terrible hitting catcher, that is fine, because there is a ton of offensive pop in that lineup, but at least get a poor hitting catcher that is solid defensively behind the plate (i.e.Brad Ausmus, Mike Matheny).
