QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Mar 20, 2016 -> 03:12 PM) Sands just drilled a HR off Manaea. Davidson follows with a single. Any chance Sands makes the roster? I think it is between him and Ishikawa for the last spot. Both play corner OF and 1B, which would give guys days at DH and off days when needed.

MLB Trade Rumors ‏@mlbtraderumors 2h2 hours ago After an impressive 14-year career, Rafael Soriano officially announced his retirement: http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2016/03/rafa...-to-retire.html …

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Mar 20, 2016 -> 02:57 PM) This move gives the White Sox 37 on the 40 man roster. One of those spots will be Rollins so they really have 2 spots available. I would expect someone added prior to opening day. Bernie Pleskoff ‏@BerniePleskoff Mar 19 Watch for #WhiteSox moves. They have only 37 men on their 40-man roster. Room for changes. I said it before, but the White Sox are perfectly set up to make a deal involving at least one of their relievers going outbound, and bringing in another bat. Maybe it is a good hitter with a bigger contract (Either? Bruce?) or maybe it is a roster spot crunch from another team (teams like Houston, LAD, and Tampa seem to be possibilities) but it makes so much sense.

I don't know that anyone will pass Jaime Navarro, but Adam LaRoche's handling of this situation has definitely put him in the discussion. I was OK with his taking a stance, but the larger mess this turned into with each stage has really done some damage.

The full statement

At this point, the only way the door to Sale getting traded opens is if this season blows up, and Chris Sale starts making noise about not wanting to be here.

QUOTE (Hatchetman @ Mar 19, 2016 -> 08:30 PM) Then the bosses' boss should have told the Manager to handle the situation and not completely undermine his authority. Uh, if guys are going over his head with a problem, by definition, his authority has already been undermined.

QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Mar 19, 2016 -> 09:38 AM) Look at this, an actual story. Not just some pampered star with his kid. I am honestly shocked at the fact this story has gotten zero publicity.

Well we answered one question during all of this. Judging by his stunning ability to not know when to STFU, you can see how Adam Eaton would be able to piss off his teammates like was talked about with Arizona.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 19, 2016 -> 04:13 PM) Rick Hahn had certainly agreed to this arrangement in the past season. That could be one reason why the players felt the need to go above his head. Alternatively, the players may just not believe Rick Hahn had the authority to speak in this case. I don't think that's a positive statement about him either. If the story of how upset Kenny was is true, I would guess LaRoche either told him to go f*** himself, or lied to him about cutting back, which explains why Kenny hit the roof when it didn't change.

QUOTE (Hatchetman @ Mar 19, 2016 -> 03:48 PM) Most obviously this should have been handled by the MANAGER, not the MANAGER's bosses' boss. People went to the Managers bosses, boss, which is why it was handled by him.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 19, 2016 -> 08:46 AM) Isn't in the realm of possibility KW didn't mention a player or manager or coach was made uncomfortable? KW never mentioned he told him someone was uncomfortable except maybe himself, and he isn't on the list LaRoche mentioned. It doesn't matter. He said they could address it with him and he would fix it. A deal is a deal.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 19, 2016 -> 08:03 AM) A deal is a deal. There are things in all of our lives where we were beneficiaries of great deals, and some where all of us have been on the short end. That's life, the White Sox wanted Adam LaRoche on their team. In order to get him to agree to sign, they had to agree to grant his son access. The White Sox checked into it. He had the same arraignment in Washimgton, and Rizzo didn't lose his mind. They agreed to allow him the access so LaRoche signed with the Sox. Now LaRoche didn't play well so apparently to some, agreements made and word given, are then eligible to be broken. I disagree. They were 2 weeks away from being done with spring training, and he supposedly was at 120 games last year so 40 about KW's new magic number. You deal with it, and then change the rule. Speaking of a deal being a deal.

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Mar 18, 2016 -> 09:22 PM) Completely meaningless to a results-oriented fan base. Some people who rather have rapists who win. I have no problem with being able to recognize decent people and to make the cognitive differentiation between who to really hate as a player, because not playing a game well isn't really worth being angry at a person over, well at least for me.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Mar 18, 2016 -> 04:33 PM) Well, that and because he never once mentioned his son battling an illness during his first year with the Sox and that would have been an understandable excuse in my book. He went out, tried to do his job while getting left out to dry by Ozzie, got booed and came back the next year with an All-Star season. A lot of people can't separate what a guy does on the field, with what he does off of the field. While his years in Chicago were a bust on the field, Adam Dunn was an all-star off of it.

Wow, Iowa survives.

QUOTE (59th street @ Mar 18, 2016 -> 04:13 PM) I agree with you and if this is true it is worse. He brings the entire team down and creates a major disruption simply because his abilities have deteriorated; SELFISH!! We are much better without him, that should be the main takeaway. Celebrate his departure. During his time here nothing about Adam Laroche screamed attention whore and con artist.

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 18, 2016 -> 04:11 PM) At this point, ishikawa has a great shot of being his replacement It has to be internal at this point. Maybe in June or July they can add someone externally.

QUOTE (iWin4Ron @ Mar 18, 2016 -> 04:08 PM) lmfao this whole thing is just too much. People continuing to tweet from all of this is just hilarious, namely manager / high profile players. All I hope is that we bring in something with the added money. With the way this has all gone down, I don't think they can add a player right now. If the locker room is really that poisoned, how do you think the team will take the player that replaces LaRoche? Right or wrong, it will be bad.
