Did you, like me, keep hearing Joe Pesci’s voice from “Goodfellas” whenever you said Hendry Mendez’s name?
Mendez is actually kind of interesting. Signed by the Brewers in 2021, he simply didn’t make enough progress fast enough for even them to hang onto him. He was traded to the Phillies last year and hit alright at Jersey Shore. He’s not going to hit for much power from the left side, but he’s got good contact skills and just enough defense to get by.
It sounds like a lot of prospects they already have in the system.
Mendez might be one of those prospects that ends up on the lower end of a trade to another organization to help the Phillies get better at the major league level.
