Adam Kennedy

According to Tim Brown of Yahoo! Sports, “for all practical purposes” the Dodgers and Adam Kennedy have agreed to a contract.

Assuming he passes a physical, the contract is believed to be worth around $800,000. Kennedy, who turns 36 in January, batted just .234/.277/.355 with seven homers, 38 RBI and a .632 OPS across 409 plate appearances this season for the Mariners. He is expected to serve as a utility infielder with the Dodgers in 2012.

According to Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com, the Dodgers are “closing in” on a major-league deal with veteran infielder Adam Kennedy.

We knew that the two sides were close to an agreement, but Rosenthal is the first to confirm that they are discussing a major-league deal. Kennedy, who turns 36 in January, batted just .234/.277/.355 with seven homers, 38 RBI and a .632 OPS across 409 plate appearances this season for the Mariners. If signed, he’ll serve as a backup at second base and the hot corner.

Tony Jackson of ESPN Los Angeles reports that the Dodgers are close to signing free agent infielder Adam Kennedy.

Terms of the proposed deal aren’t available. Kennedy, who turns 36 in January, batted just .234/.277/.355 with seven homers, 38 RBI and a .632 OPS across 409 plate appearances this past year for the Mariners. He would serve as a utility infielder with Los Angeles.

According to Ben Nicholson-Smith of MLB Trade Rumors, the Dodgers are talking to Adam Kennedy.

Kennedy batted just .234/.277/.355 across 409 plate appearances this past year for the Mariners, but he’s capable of playing adequate defense all over the infield and would serve a useful super-utility role for the Dodgers. A minor league deal might do the trick.
