The Phillies have traded infielder/outfielder Howie Kendrick and cash considerations to the Washington Nationals in exchange for 21-year-old left-hander McKenzie Mills and international amateur signing bonus pool space, Vice President and General Manager Matt Klentak announced today. 
Mills, a 2017 South Atlantic League All-Star, made 18 starts for single-A Hagerstown this season, going 12-2 with a 3.01 ERA (35 ER, 104.2 IP) and 118 strikeouts to just 22 walks (5.36 SO/BB ratio). Mills, 6-foot-4, who was promoted by Washington to single-A Potomac yesterday, was selected by the Nationals in the 18^th round of the June 2014 draft out of Sprayberry Senior High School in Marietta, Ga. He is currently ranked as the Nationals' 18^th-best prospect according to MLB.com.
Kendrick, acquired by the Phillies from the Los Angeles Dodgers this past offseason, was batting .340 (48-141) with a .397 on-base percentage and .454 slugging percentage in 156 plate appearances for the Phillies this season.
