to their outfield for next season.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Andrew Benintendi is another highly sought-after free agent whose market is developing, with plenty of suitors expected.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>One could be the Astros, who made a significant move on Monday, when they agreed to a three-year deal with first baseman Jose Abreu that\u2019s worth around $60 million, according to The Post\u2019s Jon Heyman.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Benintendi is seen by some as another good fit for Houston, which swept the Yankees out of the postseason.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The 28-year-old Benintendi played well after coming to The Bronx from Kansas City in a July trade and the Yankees remain convinced that they would have at least put up a fight against Houston in the ALCS if Benintendi and DJ LeMahieu had been healthy.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But Benintendi was lost for the season with a fractured hamate bone \u2014 an injury that flummoxed the Yankees, since he\u2019d had the injury previously and it\u2019s typically fixed by removing the bone \u2014 making it nearly impossible to return.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"

issues they did at the trade deadline that convinced them to bring in Benintendi in exchange for three minor league pitchers in the first place.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>They remain too right-handed and the lefty-swinging Benintendi would be another contact hitter in a lineup that strikes out too much.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And they have no internal candidates to take over in left field, with Aaron Hicks benched when Harrison Bader got healthy and Oswaldo Cabrera not a true outfielder.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As with much of their offseason, the Yankees would like to know how much Judge will cost \u2014 if he returns \u2014 before making too many more costly moves, like they did with resigning Anthony Rizzo to play first base.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=\"no\" height=\"200\"

$40 million deal and then brought in one of the top remaining free agents in Abreu, who turns 36 next month.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Michael Brantley was Houston\u2019s left fielder last year before a right shoulder injury that resulted in surgery ended his season.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Brantley, another left-handed bat, is 35 and also a free agent. He\u2019d also cost significantly less than Benintendi, who is expected to see a multiyear deal.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Before the injury, Brantley was having a typically strong season and is someone the Yankees could also look to if Benintendi lands elsewhere. He is coming off a two-year, $32 million deal.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As The Post\u2019s Joel Sherman reported last week, there is no shortage of left-handed outfield bats on the open market.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In addition to Benintendi and Brantley, Cody Bellinger and ex-Yankee Joey Gallo are available and looking for bounce-back seasons.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And Brandon Nimmo is in line to fetch the biggest contract of any of them.\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
