TEMPE, Ariz. — Left fielder Andrew Benintendi, signed to the franchise’s richest contract in the offseason, will see his first game action Monday. So will Elvis Andrus, who hasn’t played any position besides shortstop in his career but will be the Sox’ second baseman in 2023.
Benintendi signed a five-year, $75 million deal, eclipsing catcher Yasmani Grandal’s $73 million, four-year contract signed before the 2020 season.
