It's a season Andrew Benintendi probably wants to put in the rearview mirror as quick as possible. But that isn't stopping the White Sox outfielder from sitting down with Bradfo for a conversation about the good times from his past and how he views his future.

It's an entertaining, open and honest conversation with a player intent on finding the kind of success he experienced not all that long ago.

There is also some good Francisco Lindor vs. Shohei Ohtani MVP talk.
