I hope something else was going on, Buck wanted out, we mistakenly thought he would cost a lot more money than $2.9MM, anything other than "we think Kendall is better".

Kendall would make sense if they were paying him "wise older catcher signed to shepherd young, developing catcher" money. He'd be a good mentor for Pena with his experience and tough attitude.
At that money, though? They're paying him to be a starter, at least for a year...
