QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Mar 18, 2016 -> 07:03 PM) Doubtful, that would be an incredibly stupid move. Who's to say he won't demand a trade

Adam Hoge ‏@AdamHoge 6m6 minutes ago Chris Sale: "We have a much bigger problem on our hands than Kenny coming in here and kicking out a kid and LaRoche retiring."

QUOTE (shakes @ Mar 18, 2016 -> 05:53 PM) I don't doubt there were complainers, in fact I think it's likely. The only place I've caught wind of the complainers being the vocal opponents of this in public, was originated several times on the score. I could be wrong, was that report coming from anywhere else? Pedro Gomez said a few coaches complained. Tom Shear had the additional information as well.

QUOTE (shakes @ Mar 18, 2016 -> 05:42 PM) One of the Score's favorite moves is throwing out nonsense rumors nobody can verify. Bernstein and Dicaro are really good at it, and I believe in a lot of cases they 100% make this stuff up to get ratings. Lots of smoke from various people yesterday there were numerous complainers, and this came from non-Score personalities.

QUOTE (shakes @ Mar 18, 2016 -> 05:40 PM) I don't think he is the one either, but it wouldn't surprise me if it was Eaton. There was buzz about him being trouble in the locker room in Arizona. I will say Chris Sale was definitely lied to by someone, and it will be interesting to see how he reacts if a players name is revealed that complained. Obviously someone involved with this is either lying or not aware of what the actual truth is. I'm sure that's why they're trying to keep it a KW vs players issue.

QUOTE (shysocks @ Mar 18, 2016 -> 05:38 PM) So which players do we specifically know have complained. Eaton, Sale, and to a lesser extent, Frazier and Duke. Anybody I'm missing? Frazier didn't complain. I do know Lawrie and Hawkins retweeted support for LaRoche

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 18, 2016 -> 05:35 PM) Well Sale is complaining the loudest. I don't think KW has it in him to hold back if he was the one who went to him. I'm confident he's not the one they're referring to

oh wow Julie DiCaroVerified account ‏@JulieDiCaro @MJ_Baumann There are people in media who believe the guys complaining the loudest may have been the ones who complained.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Mar 18, 2016 -> 05:29 PM) dan haren ‏@ithrow88 54s54 seconds ago Chris Sale is making me worried that I don't love my son enough. Someone on twitter said Sale will now quit to coach LaRoche's little league team

It does make me laugh that they're still going around to players asking if anyone had an issue with Drake.

This is awesome! Dayn PerryVerified account ‏@daynperry 35m35 minutes ago The best possible conclusion is that it comes to light that Adam LaRoche asked Kenny Williams to ban Adam LaRoche's son.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 18, 2016 -> 05:17 PM) So Sale is now an idiot for firing on KW, something this board does with regularity when a player acquisition doesn't work out. Oh come on...he's not our superior

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Mar 18, 2016 -> 05:15 PM) Hey, Chris: how about you don't get yourself suspended this year at a critical time of the season because you couldn't control your temper? God, when your best pitcher is this much of a knucklehead it really make it hard to root for him. Chris Sale - 60 day DL (broken left hand)

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Mar 18, 2016 -> 06:12 PM) Why don't Hahn or Reinsdorf come right out and directly state the language wasn't included in the contract? Because there's now apparently this grievance pending? His silence on this is incredible. Almost makes you wonder if he really is against KW in this.

Bill Shaikin ‏@BillShaikin 23m23 minutes ago Chris Sale, ripping Ken Williams, on clubhouse access debacle: "If we’re all here to win a championship, this kind of stuff doesn’t happen."

Scott Merkin ‏@scottmerkin 4m4 minutes ago Scottsdale, AZ Sale: " I think Robin was the right person to handle this and he was handcuffed.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Mar 18, 2016 -> 04:22 PM) Eaton is not even on the card. They usually aren't if they're not starting

so Nightengale is making it sound like it is Sox players asking the mlbpa to file a grievance, and not necessarily LaRoche. Bob Nightengale ‏@BNightengale 15m15 minutes ago The #Whitesox players say that LaRoche has made up his mind and will not reconsider. He's done with baseball

QUOTE (flavum @ Mar 18, 2016 -> 05:49 PM) You know it was Sale that wanted to boycott the game the other day. Wasn't his turn to go. That is happening tomorrow, right? yep, definitely him and Eaton. On the other hand, it was reported he was one of the guys that changed his mind in order to support Ventura

I bet Drake LaRoche never knew he'd be getting a law degree being in the Sox clubhouse.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 18, 2016 -> 05:45 PM) I don't think he should be fired for that, but if it is in LaRoche's contract, IMO, that is an offense where he needs to go. Messing with obligations with player contracts, whether financial or otherwise, would be a gigantic problem. Agreed, he should be fired if he manipulated this all himself

Another thing is that if it comes down to LaRoche vs KW (Sox organization) in terms of what's actually in a contract, I'm going to trust the Sox. KW already said there's no clause in the contract.

QUOTE (Baron @ Mar 18, 2016 -> 05:41 PM) Isnt it possible that he told the owner and the owner agreed with the players? Or did that scenario slip through Sales head? Exactly, maybe JR wanted to take the pressure off of all sides

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Mar 18, 2016 -> 05:40 PM) There are so many swear words that I want to say about this whole situation it's ridiculous. Chris Sale is a child for letting this drag on Yep, why not be quiet until talking to Reinsdorf?

Scott Merkin ‏@scottmerkin 33s34 seconds ago Scottsdale, AZ Sale: "Rick, I truly believe is trying to build a winning team. We have a lot of respect for that guy." This truly is a players vs KW thing. Can't get rid of 25 players
