MLB Trade Rumors: The Boston Red Sox would be dealing Andrew Benintendi to the Kansas City Royals in a three way deal that also involves the New York Mets, and that is close to being finalized, per reports.
Benintendi, a 26 year old left handed hitting outfielder, was the 7th overall pick in the 2015 draft (yes, the Dillon Tate draft) out of the University of Arkansas. He came in second in the American League Rookie of the Year balloting in 2017, and then had a 4.5 bWAR 2018 season, at which point he seemed to be a budding star.
