A former Red Sox rising star could become the latest player to play for both teams in the sport’s most iconic rivalry.
Outfielder Andrew Benintendi, now with the Royals, is a trade target of the Yankees, The New York Post‘s Jon Heyman and Dan Martin reported. The 61-24 Yankees don’t have many glaring weaknesses on their roster, but they want to upgrade in right field, looking to move Joey Gallo and potentially bring in Benintendi.
However, the Yankees don’t appear close to making a deal for Benintendi as they view the Royals’ asking price as “too high” according to Heyman and Martin.
