Andrew Benintendi has been traded to the New York Yankees, with the Kansas City Royals acquiring three minor-league pitching prospects
Benintendi was drafted by the Red Sox in 2015 and made his big-league debut for Boston a year later. He was a crucial piece for the Red Sox during their 2018 World Series run, batting second behind Mookie Betts and starting 13 of 14 postseason games in left field.
In 2021, the Red Sox dealt Benintendi to the Royals in exchange for Franchy Cordero, Josh Winckowski and three minor-leaguers. Over the past two seasons in Kansas City, Benintendi hit .294 with 20 home runs and 112 RBIs in 226 games. He won the Gold Glove in 2021 and made the All-Star team in 2022, as he's currently hitting .320.
For the Yankees, acquiring Benintendi will shore up their outfield -- on offense and defense. Joey Gallo and Aaron Hicks have disappointed this season, and this move will give them plenty of options for the postseason.
