Andrew Benintendi Goes To White Sox On Five-Year Deal
2 years agoThe Chicago White Sox and free-agent outfielder Andrew Benintendi agreed to a five-year deal worth $75 million on Friday. Benintendi began the 2022 season playing for the Kansas City Royals, but he was acquired by the New York Yankees after 93 games and played in 33 games in the Bronx before his season ended prematurely due to a wrist injury. He was named an All-Star last year for the first time and finished with a .304/.373/.399 slash line, five home runs, 51 RBI, 54 runs scored and eight stolen bases in 521 combined plate appearances over 126 games. The 28-year-old should no longer be considered a threat for a 20-20 season, but he could be a nice source of average, on-base percentage and runs scored in a dangerous White Sox lineup in the years to come. Benintendi will certainly be a boost to Chicago's injury-prone outfield.
