Part 3/9:
Benintendi's stint with the White Sox started on shaky ground. While he had a good initial season, his overall production has been disappointing. His performance metrics reveal a negative .6 WAR, and the burden of still owing around $50 million on the deal means this contract earns a solid D grading.
Jason Heyward - Chicago Cubs (8 Years, $184 Million)
The Chicago Cubs made a significant commitment to Heyward, which paid off momentarily with a World Series title. However, his performance faltered significantly during the rest of his tenure, leading to a D classification. Despite the enjoyment of a World Series victory, the contract failed to deliver the expected returns in the long run.
