Alex Cora took time Thursday morning to appreciate Andrew Benintendi.
The Red Sox on Wednesday dealt Benintendi to the Kansas City Royals in a deal that will send five players — three of which will be named later — to Boston. The 26-year-old outfielder played under Cora for two seasons, including the 2018 World Series championship campaign.
Check out this Instagram post Cora shared Thursday:
“Thank you #Benihana”
Obviously, Cora’s post includes photos of the legendary catch Benintendi made in Game 4 of the 2018 American League Championship Series against the Houston Astros.
While parting with the homegrown outfielder surely wasn’t easy for Boston, Red Sox fans should be excited about the still-developing return.
