WASHINGTON — Right-hander Kyle Hendricks remembers sitting in the room to the right of the visitor’s clubhouse at Nationals Park with his iPad, watching video and reviewing hitter reports at the 2021 trade deadline.
The trade deadline was on July 30, a Friday, so Hendricks was preparing for his start on Saturday.
As he prepped, he noticed director of team travel and clubhouse operations Vijay Tekchandani bringing bags to the clubhouse entrance. He glanced over to see who the numbers on the bag were.
