The August 2 trade deadline is approaching, which means that rumors are heating up.
The Brewers could use some help offensively, particularly in the outfield, so it’s not surprising that Jon Heyman reported this morning that Milwaukee is among several teams “trying for” Kansas City Royals outfielder Andrew Benintendi.
Padres, Brewers and Yankees have been among teams trying for Andrew Benintendi, but his current non-vaccination status likely will take the Yankees out (they could play Toronto in the playoffs). The Yankees also have interest in Benintendi’s teammate, Michael A. Taylor.
As Heyman notes, the Yankees have had interest in Benintendi, but he is unable to play games against the Blue Jays in Toronto because his unvaccinated status bars him from legally entering Canada.
