Benintendi dealt to Kansas City

The Boston Red Sox traded Andrew Benintendi to the Kansas City Royals, parting with the final member of the outfield trio that helped the team win the 2018 World Series.

The Red Sox sent Benintendi along with an unspecified amount of cash to the Royals for Franchy Cordero and two players to be named. Boston also received minor league righthander Josh Winckowski and a player to be named from the New York Mets. The Mets received outfielder Khalil Lee from the Royals.
