“Bringing back Benintendi has also remained a priority considering that though the Yankees have made clear to the Pirates their interest in Bryan Reynolds, the team hasn’t gotten the impression Pittsburgh is currently particularly motivated to trade Reynolds, despite his request to be dealt, which the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Justin Mackey reported.”

The Yankees are looking to end their long World Series drought after a disappointing playoff run.
