It happened, and was well reported on this site at the time. You must not have been paying attention, lemming. Maybe you should try succeeding at a Google search first, unlike the last time you tried to tell everyone that 66% was a good save percentage for a closer, and you could have easily found out the details for yourself. Stupid organizations do stupid things, so perhaps you should accept the truth rather than s%*#-talking posters who actually remember the facts of what happened? This happened as well during the same season… AudacyTony La Russa says White Sox players told to ‘slow it dow...White Sox manager Tony La Russa does not want his star players getting injured so they’ve been told by training staff to take it easy on routine outs. |

And told to not so briskly jog the bases, lol. You can’t deny this s%*#. It actually happened, and it continues to happen.

https://www.baseball-almanac.com/dictionary-term.php?term=injury%20rehabilitation%20assignment “injury rehabilitation assignmentDEFINITIONSending a major-league player recovering from an injury or illness to a minor-league team for the purpose of getting him back into playing shape before resuming his place on the major-league roster.” The Sox called Hays up earlier than they intended due to Murray’s injury. Then, even Venable was trying to limit his playing time for obvious reasons.

Hays DH’ed one rehab game and played LF for another. Then, they called him up. It sure seems like Venable was limiting his usage of Hays right after he was activated.

Exactly. It also likely resulted in Hays getting reinjured with a second lower body injury. https://chicago.suntimes.com/white-sox/2026/04/27/white-sox-austin-hays-derek-shomon-will-venable-chris-antonacci-chase-meidroth “Before the game, they also gave their offense what they hope is another jolt by calling up outfielder Austin Hays from Triple-A Charlotte, ending his rehab from a strained right hamstring. The move was made necessary by a shoulder injury to Tanner Murray that will sideline him for four to six months.”

Jerry is the owner of the single MLB team left that has never given out a $100+ million dollar contract to a player. $75 million was the highest as we know. I don’t think it’s anti-semitic to say that Jerry is risk-averse and frugal at the very least and more harshly flat-out cheap when it comes to handing out large guaranteed player contracts.

Delusional. Benintendi is at -0.8 bWAR and -0.5 fWAR. 🤣 The only reason the Sox can’t DFA him is because they are too busy bringing one of their only decent outfielders back too early and getting him reinjured. Which then leads to them having to sign washed-up vets like Grichuk.

Maybe the Sox told him to slow jog the bases but he didn’t listen. 🤣

The theme of the Sox bringing back injured players too early continues…

He makes Benintendi look young.

And 0 for 4, lol.

He would get eaten alive due to his walk issues.

Acuna would have to be DFA’ed and clear waivers to be sent to Charlotte.

What kind of scouting did Getz do for this bum? He’s the worst hitter I’ve seen in awhile.

Quero needs AAA.

Wrong thread.

That almost makes up for the $12 million he burned in his fireplace for Kay.

Acuna is terribad.

Holy crap, what did Acuna just swing at lol.

Can’t believe Hill did something.

Morejon mowed them down like little leaguers.

He was already a reliever in the majors before he went to Japan and he was absolutely awful.

2-years and $12 million for this bum.
