Well, for a brief window of time, it looked like the Yankees being swept at the hands of the crosstown Mets was going to be the story that dominated New York sports media tonight. And then... something came up.
To be exact, the news that the Yankees had acquired Royals outfielder Andrew Benintendi quickly overshadowed events on the field. Yankees beat writer Jack Curry broke the news of the deal mere minutes after the Bombers lost in the bottom of the ninth at Citi Field.
Specific details of the trade just became public, and New York sent a trio of minor leaguers to Kansas City in exchange for Benintendi, who returns to the division wherein he started his career, as a young phenom and eventual World Series champion for the Red Sox.
