The Royals, and their fans, deserve a better All-Star representative

Despite what the great Bill James thinks, Andrew Benintendi is having a great season. In fact, the Royals starting left fielder and All-Star representative is having a career year, posting career bests in OPS+ (124) and wRC+ (127).

That’s all great for Benintendi, and as Royals fans and all other baseball fans found out before Kansas City had to travel into Canada to take on the Blue Jays, that’s all that matters to him.

He just thinks about himself.

Benintendi is one of ten Royals who couldn’t travel to Toronto due to Canada’s Covid-19 restrictions.
