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.”
