Yankees Unlikely To Continue Pursuit Of Andrew Benintendi
By Steve Adams | July 14, 2022 at 12:16pm CDT
Royals outfielder Andrew Benintendi has reportedly been a target of both the Blue Jays and Yankees in the early stages of the summer trade market, but yesterday’s placement on the restricted list in advance of Kansas City’s trip to Toronto, due to vaccination status, is already having impact on his market. It seemed obvious at the time of that revelation that the Jays would be out of the mix for Benintendi, and Jon Heyman of the New York Post now reports that the Yankees are also unlikely to further pursue the outfielder. Presumably, the same is true of Benintendi’s teammate Michael A. Taylor, who joined him on the restricted list and has also reportedly been considered by the Yankees.

The Yankees are bring back Tyler Wade. For now, he'll will be at Scranton. Why? Do we not have enough sub-.230 hitters? |

The Yankees are bring back Tyler Wade. For now, he'll will be at Scranton. BRAVO = MY MAN is back HOME. Why did the Yanks pick him up agaon?
...Wade appeared in 67 games with the Angels in 2022, playing every position other than catcher, first base or pitcher and generally providing solid defense (particularly in the middle infield).
He tallied what’s already a career-high 163 plate appearances with the big league club but managed only a tepid .218/.272/.272 batting line in that time.
Wade’s 20.2% strikeout rate was the lowest of his career, but his 6.1% walk rate was also down nearly five percentage points from his 2019-21 levels. Wade also posted bottom-of-the-scale marks in average exit velocity (83.9 mph) and hard-hit rate (just 16%).
Of course, offense has never been Wade’s calling card. He spent as much time with the Yankees as he did from 2017-21 (264 games 491 plate appearances) due to his versatility with the glove and his above-average speed.
Both were on display with the Halos, evidenced by his eight stolen bases (albeit in 13 tries) and the aforementioned appearances at six different defensive positions.
It’s a depth move for the Yankees, bringing back a player they know well who can provide them some insurance at various positions around the diamond. Wade is a career .286/.353/.414 hitter in 1132 plate appearances at the Triple-A level.

Now is the time to go after a stud like Castillo, he can tip the scales in October in the Yanks favor. With Severino's recurring injury issues, Monty and Taillon coming off long periods of missed time as well, and Cortes not having proven longevity, a guy like Castillo will pair nicely at the top with Cole. If we can get it done w/o giving up Volpe, Yanks gotta do it. Would love to see Matt Blake working with Castillo the next few years.

Cash probably won't hesitate to trade Dominguez either if the right deal comes along. If I were the Reds, I'd ask for Waldichuk or Warren too. Pereira should also be in the mix. |

Hal and Cashman better nut up this deadline. That’s one good thing about this little stretch of doldrums. Our soft underbelly has been exposed. The cockiness will drop a level… |

This a big reason I believe Yanks won't trade Volpe.

This a big reason I believe Yanks won't trade Volpe. What if he came up in talks for Juan Soto, and we could sign Soto? Whatcha doing then?… |

Whatcha doing then?… The Yankees are not trading Volpe for a less than half-season rental, and Soto has already placed himself outside of Hal's willingness to spend. Actually, I take that back. Soto is under team control until 2024. So, the Yankees should try to get him, but I still don't know if they would be willing to give up Volpe. |

If he could be gotten for a package based around Volpe I'd do that in a second. |
