2024 Fantasy Outlook
The first season of Benintendi's five-year, $75 million contract with the White Sox couldn't have gone much worse. Benintendi managed to hit just five home runs and post a .356 slugging percentage over 621 plate appearances, and a woeful 27 percent hard-hit rate confirms that he made some of the weakest contact in baseball. Among 133 qualifiers, Benintendi ranked 123rd with his .682 OPS. To make matters worse, his defense in left field went from below average to borderline unplayable. Whether it was a display of unwavering loyalty or simply a lack of other options, manager Pedro Grifol continued to run Benintendi out there every day and rarely had him batting lower than second. With the White Sox in rebuild mode and four more years left of his deal, Benintendi should continue to be an everyday guy. His high contact rate makes him a solid bet for average, but he has little else going for him. Read Past Outlooks

ANALYSIS

2016
Benintendi hit .320 for the Royals before he was shipped to the Yankees at the trade deadline, but he struggled to a .254 average with New York and missed the final month of the season with a broken wrist. He cashed in with a five-year, $75 million contract with the White Sox and should have an everyday role in the corner outfield. Despite the high batting average last year, the veteran outfielder's numbers are underwhelming, as he finished with five home runs, 51 RBI, 54 runs and eight stolen bases in 126 contests. He showcased minimal power and had a .095 ISO, which is the lowest of his career by a significant margin, though he cut his strikeout rate to a career-best 14.1 percent. The poor power and speed production leave Benintendi with a low ceiling, even if he's able to hit around .300 again in 2023.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Excelling with tweaked stance
Benintendi has "meshed together" a leg kick and toe tap and has a .276/.350/.528 slash line with 11 homers in 45 games since the start of August, per James Fegan of SoxMachine.com.
ANALYSIS
The veteran outfielder totaled just five homers in 151 games last season and had an abysmal .574 OPS in his first 88 contests this year, but he's found his groove at the plate over the past two months. Benintendi has three years and $49.3 million left on his contract after 2024, so he should continue to have a prominent role for the White Sox next season. A strong first half in 2025 could make him a more viable trade target at the summer deadline.
