Kyle Hendricks has spent his entire Major League career with the Chicago Cubs and now he’s reached a longevity milestone.
pitcher Kyle Hendricks has never played a Major League game for another team. And, after Wednesday, he controls his destiny in a new way.
For one, fewer than 10% of players in MLB history reach the milestone. When you consider that under 21,000 have played at least one MLB game, Hendricks is part of a club of roughly 2,000 players.

With that, Hendricks can now veto a trade to any team.
Something happened after the IL stint. While Hendricks is 1-5 with a 6.87 ERA for the season, he is 1-1 with a 2.67 ERA in his last seven appearances, two of which were starts.in his last start on Tuesday, but he went seven innings and allowed two earned runs on five hits with four strikeouts and a walk. Before that he claimed a win on June 19 against the Giants, as he allowed an earned run and two hits in 5.2 innings with eight strikeouts and a walk.out of Dartmouth in 2011.
