Is Benentendi a rental?
yes a free agent at the end of the season.
not familiar with the names we gave up but sounds like a good deal. for sure this means the gallo nightmare is over. hitting .321 w a .389 OPS. assume he'll bat leadoff. though i think they'll still keep judge in the 2 hole, i'd go beni, DJ, judge, rizzo, gleyber, carp, hicks, trevino, IKF. whatever it is, lineup just got a lot longer. i can live w a judge, hicks, beni OF until stanton comes back.
people can complain that it wasn't soto or reynolds but a major upgrade nonetheless. exactly the type of hitter people complain we don't have. despite the loss, a good day in yankeeland. now we need a SP and a bullpen guy.
