QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Mar 18, 2016 -> 11:51 AM) It doesn't have to be rebuilding if the return is right. It is possible for the Sox to contend without Sale and especially Eaton. It would definitely hurt but if you aren't winning with these guys, there's something up.

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 18, 2016 -> 11:39 AM) 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 Nope, thankfully it's only a handful of the 25.

kinda obvious here but yea, AL is easily worst FA signing in Sox recent history and it's not even close at this point.

QUOTE (Tony @ Mar 18, 2016 -> 11:10 AM) Right or wrong, no matter if you agree with the decision by management on LaRoche, this was completely mishandled. This is correct, but still, talk about a couple of coddled little crybabies acting as clubhouse cancers. Worst part is they were hailed as leaders just last year.

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 18, 2016 -> 10:59 AM) Bill ShaikinVerified account ‏@BillShaikin 3m3 minutes ago Chris Sale: "This isn't us rebelling against rules. This is us rebelling against BS." KEEP FIGHTING THE OPPRESSION SALE!!!

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Mar 18, 2016 -> 10:41 AM) Where is Rick Hahn? This is honestly the 2nd most annoying thing about this. You say you're the main guy and one of the bigger stories about the White Sox in years and not a peep. Unreal.

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 18, 2016 -> 10:35 AM) Just trade him before he blows his elbow out. Haven't won crap with him here anyways. Seriously, cash out now. So much for last year's "clubhouse leaders". No wonder the team was in shambles.

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 17, 2016 -> 03:04 PM) Salary = negative $13,000,000 Cactus League MVP

Would the vet players who complained had really said something if they didn't think and see LaRoche was more focused on playing coach to his son then actually prepping for the season. I wouldn't even doubt some last year guys said something since they figured he'd sharpen up this ST since last year he was downright terrible.

QUOTE (Condor13 @ Mar 17, 2016 -> 02:02 PM) I go back to what I said yesterday. KW looks like a complete *** and is destroying this teams chemistry. I mean what other organization would let a VP destroy **** the way KW has done. The players apparently we're all opposed to KW, and Sale (your damn prized possession) was so furious with KW that he told him to get the **** out of the locker room and stat out. Sale is right, KW is the VP but thinks he is the Manger and the GM. Stay the **** out of the locker room cause all he has manged to do is **** things up year after year. He might have even cost the sox a future with sale as thir ace. KW has to ******* go and now!!! Rant over.

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 17, 2016 -> 02:01 PM) The Jeff Passan article did say team execs thought they weren't focused last year They sure as hell looked like it. Definition of lethargic.

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 17, 2016 -> 01:55 PM) Why in the world would he say that when the story hadn't broken yet? Everything he said was justified in this situation, even if he was the one who said something. I mean really? Should Rollins have to go himself and tell Drake to please help his Dad understand a normal kid shouldn't be in the clubhouse all damn season.

QUOTE (Baron @ Mar 17, 2016 -> 01:41 PM) Yeah they just repeated that report on 670 the score. Some well respected guys went to Kenny. They didnt name Rollins but it's obvious he was one. Honestly this is great IMO, wake up call. It doesn't have to be a party in the clubhouse where everyone gets what they want and play like crap on the field.

QUOTE (flavum @ Mar 16, 2016 -> 02:30 PM) Kenny is right, but also they established a bad precedence last year. This

QUOTE (shysocks @ Mar 16, 2016 -> 02:20 PM) LOL Why does his kid deserve special treatment? This is the stupidest thing imaginable. Love how Boyer is serving as a mouth piece for Adam. Pathetic.

QUOTE (Tony @ Mar 16, 2016 -> 02:17 PM) Here is a question. If LaRoche hit 25 bombs last season, does Williams have this conversation.. Maybe the Sox didn't like so much of his attention messing around with Drake this ST after coming off a dismal season, made the call. If something like this made him retire, his head wasn't fully with the White Sox anyway.

88-74

QUOTE (Lillian @ Mar 9, 2016 -> 01:13 PM) Did you guys see this article today?: http://m.mlb.com/news/article/165972362/ja...rs-may-be-dealt I don't see a spot for him, unless they can unload LaRoche, do you? "Lefty" Tyler Danish...

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Feb 7, 2016 -> 01:01 PM) One of my favorite White Sox players ever. I selfishly hope they do a bobblehead night or something. He was also involved in 2 of Kenny William's better trades. Exactly my thoughts as well, guy gave it all plus some when he took the mound. Enjoy retirement Freddy!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 8, 2016 -> 12:28 PM) Basically would probably become a fan of any team in local market, if there is such a thing wherever I wound up. Probably would care a lot less. If local area was somehow the Chicago market, go Cardinals. +1

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Jan 6, 2016 -> 02:58 PM) Do you honestly think there's any chance at all the Sox are going to start Avi in RF next season? I'll bet my house that they don't. Them greg houses coming in handy I see. I agree with you though, he won't be starting RF but I don't see the need to write an article and offer that as the main solution.

Chris Cotillo ‏@ChrisCotillo Source: Mark Buehrle currently not planning on playing next season but is not ready to officially announce retirement.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Jan 6, 2016 -> 02:47 PM) Sorry DA but I disagree. Writers can write whatever they want and the fans can believe whatever they want but nowhere has JR, KW or Hahn said the Sox were raising the payroll budget to afford such a FA signing. It has been rumored that Hahn has the '15 budget with which to work for '16 and the Sox are already there, its probably why Hahn has said they would need to get "creative" to sign a FA. "Creative" in the sense of trading salary (LaRoche rumors) in order to sign a FA. If fans are pissed it should be at their self for believing the media rumors. So we're supposed to like at the proposed idea of letting Avi butcher in RF because RH didn't come out and officially say "we need to upgrade RF and shed dead salary like Laroche to do so"?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jan 6, 2016 -> 02:39 PM) That article should piss some people off. If that really was the plan, I wouldn't blame anyone for being pissed off, but even Merkin reported the White Sox would bring in an OF. This is the sentiment I got by reading this as well. Talk about making it tough look forward to the season when he alludes to some bad ideas as major possibilities.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jan 6, 2016 -> 09:23 AM) Unfortunately with Boras as his agent, we'll be saying the same thing about Rodon as well before too long. wat? 6 more years.
