Word on the street — OK, word from Jesse Rogers and Jeff Passan — is that Andrew Benintendi is the answer to the White Sox’s left-field woes from here until the end of the decade, pretty much.
Rogers reported the agreement, and Passan had the sum of $75 million. Yes, that is a franchise-record amount, thanks for asking.
It bears mentioning that the deal has not yet been confirmed by the White Sox. We’ll have more details, like happy Hahn quotes, when it is.
Benintendi started his career in Boston, and was said to be a big target for Rick Hahn both in the 2013 draft and later, when it came time to discuss the Chris Sale trade.
