Andrew Benintendi goes from the Big Apple to the Windy City.
The outfielder is headed to the Chicago White Sox on a five-year deal price $75 million, The Post’s Jon Heyman confirmed on Friday.
ESPN was first to report the deal.
Benintendi got here to the Yankees on the MLB trade deadline as a first-time All-Star, having hit .320 with a .785 OPS with the Royals. In his short-lived Bronx stint, Benintendi hit .254 and had a .734 OPS through 131 plate appearances. He also recorded 29 hits, including nine doubles and a pair of home runs.
The 2021 Gold Glover didn’t play within the ALCS or in any game following Sept. 2, after a broken hook within the hamate bone of his right wrist shortened his Yankee tenure to simply 33 games.
It was enough to attract interest from the Yankees this offseason, in addition to the World Series champion Astros, though Benintendi ultimately opted for the White Sox.
