So the $64k question is: did they require that he would get vaxxed as part of this deal? Otherwise it's idiotic.

If Cashman had half a brain, he got assurances that he would get it before the trade.

Also, the irony of them turning to a former Red Sox player to solve their problems is delicious

Just some stats for thought:

After today, with Bregman not playing, he sits at .238/.347/.409, 12 HR in 340 AB

Chas, with his 0-4, is hitting .229/.316/.417, 10 HR in 218 AB

Chas costs $750k

I hope he has some backbone and tells them to pound sand he isn't injecting a worthless substance in his body

Benitendi would rank 5th on the Astros in OPS, a single point behind Brantley

As for the vaccine...as the say, money talks. Hope it's worth it

Plus what does that say to your Royals teammates. You wouldn't get it for them but get traded to the Empire and bend over and take it

Yanks just leave Benintendi a fake vax card in his new locker.

He's having a nice year, but has somewhat limited. No HR power. Doesn't play a great left field. He doesn't strike out. He gets on base. He uses the entire field. I would be as lightly worried about his batting average. Pretty big gap ("lucky") between expected and actual.

How sad that a personal decision about injecting yourself is political 2022. And that the league wouldn't act to prevent it.

Just because I'm not down being pissed off, but if we even take 2/3 against the A's today we would have caught NY for the best record.

So what did we learn tonight? Hopefully nothing. Hopefully we all knew that modern athletes are hypocritical money grubbers that care only about milking their sport for every $$ they can squeeze out of it. The days of Sandy Koufax are long gone.

You can be a money grabber and have principles. They aren't mutually exclusive.

Don't blame someone for changing their mind.

Without turning this into too much of a political debate it's all about risk tolerance.

Playing for the Royals who are going nowhere and accomplishing nothing then yeah it wasn't worth it. But getting the opportunity to get out of KC and play for a championship in NYC then yeah that changes things and makes it worth it.

Kinda like if you were flipping burgers at Jack In The Box and they told you to get vaxed you'd probably say F off hell no. But if a fortune 500 company came calling you for a management position then yeah you'd say you know what it's too good an opportunity to get out of this shltty job yeah I'll get jabbed.

He weighed the options and made his choice.

If it's true he's getting the vax that's BS. He hurt the royals by not getting it. Now that he'll be traded to a contender he'll get it? Quite the bit moral stance.

Getting on base at a high clip and not Striking out a lot of is a perfect get for the yanks. They've got enough high hr, high K guys.

Not saying that I don't agree with you, but him being vaccinated is the least of the Royals problems.
