After New York acquired Andrew Benintendi from Kansas City New York Manager Aaron Boone, New York Center Fielder, Right Fielder Aaron Judge shared their thoughts on the acquisition Andrew Benintendi. What were they?

Aaron Boone had this to say about Andrew Benintendi!

“He’s a really good player in the middle of an All-Star season,“He’s got a track record of success with the [2018] Red Sox championship run. Obviously he was a really good player for them, but he’s putting together a really good year for the Royals right now.”

Aaron Judge had this to say about Andrew Benintendi!

He’s a really good player,”I’ve had a chance to play against him for quite a few years when he was playing over in Boston. I’ve seen him do a lot of impressive things. So if that’s true, it’ll be definitely a big piece to what we’ve got going on here.”

Though,

Andrew Benintendi isn’t going to be contributing offensively with hits, home runs, runs batted in, stolen bases right now as Andrew Benintendi has broken Hamate Bone that is going to require surgery Andrew Benintendi sustained the injury Friday verses Tampa Bay.

An injury unfortunately Andrew Benintendi is familiar with as Andrew Benintendi broke the hamate bone in his right hand during his freshman year at the University of Arkansas, then had the bone removed. To his surprise, it appears that part of the bone either remained or grew back, and now is again an issue.

Andrew Benintendi had this to say about breaking his hamate bone before!

“When I went through this before, it was right around a couple of weeks,”I want to get back out there in time for the latter part of the season and then, hopefully, the playoffs. It’s all too early to say right now.”

With Andrew Benintendi how is New York manager Aaron Boone going to establish the outfield in Andrew Benintendi’s absence?

Aaron Boone had this to say!

We'll just mix and match,Hopefully, it creates an opportunity for someone that kicks the door in."
