Andrew Benintendi
Andrew Benintendi is the latest star to represent the New York Yankees after the franchise made a blockbuster move with the Royals. In order to acquire the services of the All-Star, Yankees willingly exchanged pitching prospects like T.J.Sikkema, Chandler Champlain and Beck Way. Being one of the most obvious trade personnel over the past couple of months, Kansas City delivered an obvious deadline seller, after days of speculations.
Andrew Benintendi, who owns a .321/.389?.399 on the year, walking at a promising 10.1% clip while only punching out in 13.5% of his trips to the plate, has added significantly to the roster-power of the New York Yankees.
Moreover, Benintendi leads the major with 91 singles and has picked up 14 doubles. Although many might agree that he hasn’t looked as solid as his stint with the Red Sox. Yet he has made contact on a strong 82.6 of his swings.

MLB Fans react to Yankees making statement trade for Andrew Benintendi
While the MLB World has been filled with fans talking about the same trade, the New York Yankees acquiring Andrew Benintendi is particularly interesting when the fact is known that the concerned player is indeed unvaccinated and missed Kansas City’s trip to Canada to face the Toronto Blue Jays earlier in July.
New York has a three-game series in Toronto in September. However, it is indeed possible that the New York Yankees and Toronto Blue Jays meet in the postseason. On the same note, take a look at how fans reacted on the same trade.
“He’s (Andrew Benintendi) a really good player,” outfielder Aaron Judge said. “I’ve had a chance to play against him for quite a few years when he was playing over in Boston. I’ve seen him do a lot of impressive things. So if that’s true, it’ll be definitely a big piece to what we’ve got going on here.”
Given that Andrew Benintendi’s striking prowess and batting profile will be an excellent addition to complement the boppers in New York’s star-studded line up. Especially with the likes of Aaron Judge being in the team, Andrew can get huge help to improve his performances as well. What’s even more ironic?
Yankees open a four-game series against the Kansas City Royals. Lastly, Andrew Benintendi is playing this season on an $8.5 Million salary, around $3.3 Million of which will be paid out through the remainder of the 2022 season.
