“Dumbfounded” according to Passan from what he heard from the players. This is a disaster so far. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/30220736/why-tony-la-russa-sincerely-curious-choice-white-sox-manager?platform=amp&__twitter_impression=true

Yeah it makes you wonder if they didn’t even talk to Anderson, Giolito, etc before the selection to get on the same page. Considering this was a done deal for a few days, it’s ridiculous that Tony didn’t reach out to some guys.

But the story was he was going to retire if he was unable to find a team close to his family after he was done in Houston

Isn’t the story that Morton will only play for a team with ST in Florida?

Madrigal = Eckstein

Nothing to do with this year. Since he’s been here, it seems he can’t run hard without limping back to the dugout. I know the organization has said he has to figure out if he’s hurting or actually injured.

For every person that is happy, there seems to be 50 that are upset.

Yoan’s mellowness, combined with his “injury” tolerance just seems like a recipe for trouble with TLR.

It’s fascinating there’s not a single quote by a player yet. You would have thought Chuck, etc. could have gotten one.

And that reaction by the players is a worst case scenario here. Thank god there’s no transfer portal.

Agreed but we know the Sox have always loved him

I wonder if this makes Benintendi more of an option for the Sox, as Tony was there when he was getting started?

For the record, my pick to not click with Tony is Moncada. Just seems like someone who he won’t get along with.

That was worse than today by far. At least now we know they should be good no matter what.

I listened to it and didn’t feel that’s what he was trying to say, in terms of no upgrades. He’s not gonna say “I’m pumped for the talent but we need someone who’s not swinging a wiffle ball bat in RF and our young pitchers to act like they have some balls”

1 to 4:30 seemed like it lasted 20 minutes

Maybe they told them to hold off for a bit due to the total meltdown of the fan base. Don’t need Keuchel tweeting something supportive only for 200 negative responses.

How about Skip Schumaker for bench coach?

This should mean a lot, but it defeats the narrative.

Tony, end of story

I’m surprised no “Let’s Go” from the usual guys

Have any Sox players commented on social media yet?

Thankfully none of the WWE Hall of Famers ever come out of retirement
