Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports that the Blue Jays have expressed interest in Angels' second baseman Howie Kendrick in recent days. It's possible that the Blue Jays are just doing their due diligence, as the Angels are reportedly listening to offers, but Kendrick could be a good fit for the club now that Brett Lawrie has been moved back to third base. The 30-year-old is under contract for $9.35 million in 2014 and $9.5 million in 2015. He can block trades to 12 teams, though it isn't clear if the Blue Jays are on that list.
