The talk of the town for the New York Yankees is who will fill their vacant left field position left by Andrew Benintendi, who signed with the Chicago White Sox this off-season.
The Yankees were intrigued by the concept of bringing Benintendi back, who serves as an elite contact hitter with a lefty bat and untapped power. However, they weren’t willing to give him over five years and $18 million per season, which the White Sox dished out for the 28-year-old outfielder.
However, that leaves the Yankees thin at the position, and while they have been connected to players like Max Kepler and Bryan Reynolds, the probability of general manager Brian Cashman executing a trade gets lower each day.
