I'm unsure how I truly feel about trading Benintendi being that he's still young (26) and has shown flashes of his abilities; however, the past two seasons he truly hasn't been the same compared to when he first entered the league. His speed has dropped, swing has changed for the worse, defense has always been a question, and now he only has two years of control left. With the recent report about the team seriously considering dealing him, it got me thinking about a scenario that's been talked about a number of times: absorbing salary for young, valuable assets.
