3 full seasons 2017 - AB 573, BA .271, OBP .352, OPS .776 2018 - AB 579, BA .290, OBP .366, OPS .830 2019 - AB 541, BA .266, OBP .343, OPS .774 Agreed, maybe Beni is an outfielder who hits BA .276, OBP .353, OPS .780, and that would be good enough depending on who else is available and at what price. The small incremental gain in the replacements hitting may not be worth the additional cost given other needs on the team. This has been said many times, but on Aug 16, 2019, Benintendi was at .290 .363 .475 .839 (although with only 12 hrs), then he had a putrid final six weeks, hitting .151 .250 .215 .465. He had had some weak stretches earlier, but the last six weeks were the killer. The defensive and base running drop-off may have been consistent, but was he too bulked up when he was hitting .290 .363 .475 .839? ....so he takes off the weight and regains his speed and flexibility... He is only 26 years old. He can regain his old form. IMO the RS do not need to sell Beni off at a low point. A lot of player have had crappy six week stretches.

If Bloom does not get an adequate return he will not trade him.
