QUOTE (BrianAnderson @ Mar 18, 2016 -> 07:41 PM) Sox don't pay for that. Union dues do. Players pay for clubhouse food, just deducted from their paycheck. They pay a pretty hefty fee too. Get a ton of stuff. Doubt one 14 year old kid is doing damage to that. Have a guy I know who pitches in the majors - filled me in on some of the stuff. You played in the majors for numerous years and only know one guy?

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Mar 18, 2016 -> 08:31 PM) I really don't believe a word Laroche says at this point. Lovely sports week for you, isn't it

If KW really said no kids at all, then he was trying to make him quit. No way would LaRoche agree to that, and I don't blame him

That was a great letter by LaRoche

QUOTE (Downtown518 @ Mar 18, 2016 -> 08:03 PM) Or an ultimatum was issued after LaRoche falied to comply with original request. KW still lied in his statement tuesday

QUOTE (Black_Jack29 @ Mar 18, 2016 -> 08:02 PM) Nothing in there about a contractual clause regarding Drake's clubhouse access Doesn't matter at this time. Either LaRoche or KW is lying about what was said in that meeting

So he's claiming Kenny said no attendance at all?

QUOTE (blackmooncreeping @ Mar 18, 2016 -> 06:25 PM) What the hell is that supposed to mean? They want Kenny gone

Q: Can this hurt the team in free agency in the future? A: I don’t see how it couldn’t. I don’t see why someone with a handful of offers on the table could look and say you know what, that’s a mess I want to go into. No. It’s unfortunate for everyone else involved because this ultimately comes down to the White Sox. This is Rick (Hahn) and Robin and Jerry and the players and the coaching staff are probably going to get heat for something they don’t deserve. Rick, I truly believe is trying to build a winning team. We have a lot of respect for that guy. We have a lot of respect for Robin because he’s leading the charge. We just don’t have room for outside distractions.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Mar 18, 2016 -> 06:21 PM) Players are all coming out and talking s***. Way to take charge Robin. You f***ing clown. They're saying he's handcuffed, whatever that means. Guess he plays for U of I basketball

Wow, this is the transcript of Sale: Q: What are your concerns about how this affects the team moving forward? A: We’re missing two big pieces to our puzzle, plain and simple. I’m not going to sit here and say it’s going to be the main reason, but he’s definitely going to be missed and we’re not going to get him back.

Pedro Gomez asked Sale where does KW stand in the eyes of the players, and Sale said "I won't get into that".

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Mar 18, 2016 -> 06:06 PM) And what would that be? The fact that some players complained? Is there now a rift between players? I can't imagine what else he'd be referring to. Watched the video, it was about KW

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Mar 18, 2016 -> 06:06 PM) And what would that be? The fact that some players complained? Is there now a rift between players? I can't imagine what else he'd be referring to. Kenny's role/lying to them?

I still can't believe that Reinsdorf wasn't there today

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
