southsider2k5 Posted July 12, 2024 Share Posted July 12, 2024 First prize in a White Sox contest. Of course the grand prize is winning a baseball without Benintendi's autograph. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzie for Manager Posted July 14, 2024 Share Posted July 14, 2024 Benitendi must really love Chicago, as soon as this thread started about him being shopped, he tanked even worse than he had all year. 1-11 since this post, definitely actively trying to stay with the White Sox.

Falstaff Posted July 26, 2024 Share Posted July 26, 2024 I can't help but think of the Munchkins when Benintendi name comes up.

Bob Sacamano Posted July 29, 2024 Share Posted July 29, 2024 (edited) Are there any SP on any teams with a similarly bad deal we can swap 1-for-1 with? I'd feel better about taking a gamble on a SP to plug into a 5th SP spot to eat some innings during some bad seasons than playing Benintendi. Edit: Taijuan Walker and McCullers (granted, hasn't pitched since 2022, but opening up space on the 40-man every year could be a benefit haha) are a season short.
