The Kansas City Royals made a late night deal with the New York Yankees Wednesday trading away all-star Andrew Benintendi in exchange for three minor league pitchers.
Benintendi has dominated the outfield for KC this season becoming the club’s lone all-star and batting .320 with 111 hits and 39 RBI’s.
In exchange, the Royals have added right-handed pitchers Chandler Champlain and Beck Way, and left-handed pitcher T.J. Sikkema to its roster.
Sikkema was a former Mizzou Tiger and was drafted in 2019 with the 38th pick by the Yankees.
