White Sox Openly Shopping Andrew Benintendi
5 months agoThe Chicago White Sox are openly shopping outfielder Andrew Benintendi and would love to get out of his contract. Benintendi is still owed nearly $50 million from 2025 to 2027 under his current deal. It's going to be a hard ask for another team to take on Benintendi's contract based on the way he's played so far this year, but perhaps a contending team that wants to add a veteran left-handed corner outfielder will poke around later this month. The 29-year-old former seventh overall pick by the Boston Red Sox in 2015 out of Arkansas is slashing a weak .196/.246/.300 with six home runs, 22 RBI and 17 runs scored in 65 games in 2024 in his second year in Chicago. The White Sox's five-year, $75 million deal with Benintendi has aged terribly before two full seasons, and it's not like he's playing great defense, either.
