Good trade by the Yankees. Hopefully my team makes a great trade these couple if days and get ready for October. We hope to meet yall in the ALCS.Yankees fans love seeing their team not being complacent in what could be a championship season. Acquiring Benintendi from the Kansas City Royals could make all the difference in October.New York Yankees are all-in to win the World Series in 2022Andrew Benintendi was the top trade target for many teams in the MLB.It is truly championship or bust time in New York. Since Aaron Judge's future with the Yankees is uncertain, they need to capitalize on what may be his final season on the team. Adding Benintendi to this already stacked roster will help do just that.The New York Yankees have been the best team in the league for most of the season but have been struggling lately. With recent losses to the Houston Astros and New York Mets, this acquisition is the confidence boost they need.The Yankees want to enter August with momentum, and that is exactly what this trade gives them. The upcoming series between the Yankees and Benintendi's former team, the Kansas City Royals, is a poetic way to build on that momentum.The New York Yankees and their fans won't be satisfied with anything less than a championship in 2022, and this move brings them one step closer to the goal.
