The White Sox and Andrew Benintendi agreed on a five-year, $75 million contract, pending a physical, a source tells ken_rosenthal. The pre-existing White Sox connections to Benintendi were seemingly limitless.
in left field the last couple of years, the White Sox have openly spoken about improving their defense just by having fielders in positions where they’re comfortable. A Gold Glove winner in 2021 and above-average again in left field in 2022 according to Statcast, Benintendi should be plenty comfortable in Guaranteed Rate Field’s rather small outfield.
And as much as Benintendi’s last few years and patches of struggle have been defined by rib cage and oblique strains, and now a broken hamate, 2022 was his fifth career season of 125 games played or more. That record of health looks pretty sterling compared to what the White Sox have endured the past two seasons.When Benintendi was struggling at the tail end of his Red Sox tenure, beyond just being banged up, he was swinging through fastballs at an alarming rate.
Spend enough time on his Statcast page and you can talk yourself into how Benintendi could have had 10 homers in 2022 with cozier surroundings and a few timely gusts of wind. Guaranteed Rate Field is a wonderful park to hit pull-side homers as a left-handed hitter, but anything beyond average power has been missing from Benintendi’s profile pretty much since reaching the majors.
