According to sources, the Chicago White Sox agreed on a five-year, $75 million contract with Andrew Benintendi, who is one of the game's premier bat to ball hitters.
In his time with the Kansas City Royals and New York Yankees he hit.302/.373/.399. The ninth-best batting average and top 25 strikeout percentage in Major League Baseball can be found in the batting average of Andrew Benintendi.
It is the largest free agent contract in White Sox history. It surpasses the four-year deal given to catcher Yasmani Grandal.
The White Sox finished 19th in MLB in runs scored and lost their best offensive player, first baseman Jose Abreu, to the Houston Astros in the off-season. Andrew Vaughn is expected to move to first base, freeing up a spot for Andrew Benintendi to join Luis Robert in center field.
The White Sox have an offensive talent that runs deep enough for them to have a better showing than their 81-81 season in 2020. Pedro Grifol was the new manager of the Kansas City Royals after Tony La Russa stepped down.
In the American League Championship Series, he made a sliding, game-ending catch to help Boston beat Houston. He made his debut the next season after the RedSox took him with the seventh overall pick. He was able to establish himself as a potential future star by hitting 20 home runs, stealing 20 bases and getting on base more than 30% of the time.
With a career on- base percentage of.351, Benintendi could find himself in the No. 2 hole behind Anderson. In 745 games, he has hit.279/.351/.431 with 73 home runs.
The White Sox's payroll is expected to go over $200 million for the second year in a row.
