Accidentally posted in trade winds instead of PHT. Can a mod please move? 

I don't consider it as "taking a shot" but he is probably referring to them. No one should be surprised by that comment though.

Considering he was widely considered one of the catalysts of that dysfunctional clubhouse, he should probably not bring it up 

Just stating facts, although i remember he was involved in the drama

I was just going to mention his role in the drama every time something stupid happened.

Yeah, the guy banging the drum for a 12-year-old to be a constant club house presence for an under performing DH...has no room to talk.

Well that does make him something of an expert in clubhouses where the managers don't have any control.

Coming from Eaton I'll take it for what it's worth, nothing. The Sox clubhouse was dysfunctional and he played his part in it. Let's not forget his reputation preceded him when he came from Arizona.

Let's put the LaRoche daycare saga behind us please.

I would like the tapes discussing the Eaton trade however. Would be very interesting to hear if Juan Sotos name came up at all. I would return all 3 of Giolito, Lopez, and Dunning for him in a heartbeat.

Honestly considering he's spent most of his Nats career in rehab how would he know?

IIRC, Eaton and Todd Frazier had to move lockers just to get away from each other.

 

I love when I get opportunities to use this gif. Thanks Adam. 

 

Here is something that I have thought about, let's say the LaRoche business and the Sale Sissorhands event never happened and the both Sale and Eaton were good Boy Scouts, do the Sox trade them anyway and go with the rebuild?

Maybe he's referring to his time with the Dbacks as well...it just seems that where he goes there's always some sort of drama that follows.

we had this debate and imo it's not worth rehashing.  My answer is "yes".

Sorry but I'm sort of new and haven't posted much here, curious was your feeling that of most? As for me I'm not sure.

And Adam in the middle of it again... Hummmmm

It was just a lot of spit-balling on both sides but my feelings are that those guys were traded 100% for baseball reasons.  They were far and away the best assets the club had.  If any sentimentality went into it that was thrown out the window when they ditched Q last year imo.  Q is a guy that embodied the underdog, written off mentality and they shipped him off (in a great trade) as well.

I remember someone on PBS that said he was a friend of Jerry's and that Sale would not be back with the Sox after the jersey incident

It's kinda funny how Sale hasn't pulled any of that shit in Boston.  Says something about Ventura and the other vets in tha clubhouse.  Adam was probably right fwiw, it was a shit clubhouse.  Of course Adam was part of the problem.  Adam and Sale are both guys that will fall in line behind strong leaders but in the absence of leadership will struggle to fill the void and do stupid shit.

If it were that serious then they would've traded Sale immediately (it happened in mid-July) IMO

In fairness, that was a one time thing.  He didn't have some rampant history of vandalism against the White Sox that suddenly got "fixed" by going to Boston.

And yeah, Adam was a big part of the problem and I'm still glad he's gone.

It sounds like he had quite a few outbursts that the Sox didn't make public
