The New York Yankees have emerged as “serious contenders” for Andrew Benintendi, according to MLB.com reporter Mark Feinsand. He has also reported that Benintendi’s vaccination status is not affecting trade talks. Benintendi is unable to travel to Toronto unless he gets vaccinated, and the Yankees have one more regular season series there, and could potentially play there in the post-season.
Benintendi had two more hits last night and is hitting .319/.389/.402 with three home runs and 38 walks in 88 games. He was named to his first All-Star Game this summer and won his first Gold Glove last year.
