3Rationale: Many trades with Benintendi and the Yankees include a third team to account for other needs for the Yankees and what to do with Gallo. That's certainly possible, but I took a straightforward 2-team approach here. The Yankees seem really hesitant to trade their top guys: Volpe, Dominguez, and Peraza. That's understandable from their perspective, but they have to part with some prospects, and if the top 3 guys are untouchable then their AAA pitching prospects like Waldichuk and Wesneski have to be on the table to realistically get an impact player for the remainder of the season. I went with Waldichuk here and added a high-ceiling Low A player in Anthony Garcia. The Royals have some highly rated AAA pitchers in Omaha, but I think Waldichuk would be the best of them if added to the system. As for Garcia, he's 21 in Low A but he's putting up great numbers (wRC+ 133) and is probably ready for A+. He has great power and could be a great future bet for the Royals, but still far away enough from the majors that it wouldn't hurt the Yankees.
If the Royals can get Waldichuk for Benintendi I think that it would be a nice get for them & if they can get the Yankees to add in another player, even better for them
I think this is a reasonable trade idea. I do agree that Gallo could be in the deal and a 3rd team like the Padres involved makes complete sense. As a Royals fan i would be okay with this deal. I like Gil a lot as well as some of NY younger arms such as Lange and Sikkema. For some reason i think Estevan Florial will be part of any deal between KC and NY.
