Why the f*** would he feel entitled to day care from a team he no longer plays for? GTFO.

I mean this had to have gone about in one of three ways:

Scenario 1:

Middleton: "Hey guys, can I bring my kids to the team daycare while visiting as a Yankee?"

Sox: "Sorry Keynan, the daycare is for Sox players only."

Middleton: "Ah, my apologies."

Scenario 2:

Middleton drops kids off at daycare without checking

Daycare attendant: "Excuse us Keynan, we can only watch after kids of Sox players."

Scenario 3:

@Eminor3rd calls Keynan Middleton: "Drop off your kids at daycare before the game."

Middleton: "Why wouldn't I just leave them with my wife or mom?"

Eminor3rd stares at Caulfield's profile picture on Soxtalk: "Chaos."

What is the proper amount of time before forcefully uprooting kids from a day care they have become comfortable with over the course of a number of months...removing them from favorite teachers, toys and friends?

They would have treated theoretical Giolito kids the exact same way?

It all just appears vindictive and petty...

Well. I mean you’re only hearing one side of a story here. And really not much of that side.

Also, if they don’t live in Chicago, I’m not sure that not having access to the daycare while they’re in town playing would constitute “uprooting” a kid from their favorite teachers and friends. 

Idk, farbeit for me to give this FO the benefit of the doubt, but if this is a thing where a former player would normally get a favor/exception/warmer welcome when back in town — the dude decided to burn a bridge for what seems like no real gain, I feel like you gotta assume you aren’t gonna get favors granted after that. And he’s making like $800k this year, so it’s not like they can’t handle childcare.

But the real question is: why did you specifically want mine/elrockin’s opinions here lol. Just seems random

I get that, and even if he's making minimum he's doing better than most of us, so a babysitter shouldn't be too hard. But, this is a bit different. He was traded so recently his kids probably still live in the apartment the team probably helped him find to live in during the season. He's used it all season, and it probably has some familiarity with his kids and maybe they are friends with other players' kids. He's probably thinking he's doing his little ones a solid taking them there.  Again, I have no idea how old his kids are, or any liability concerns the White Sox would have.

Rules are rules. The White Sox threw Carlton Fisk out of the clubhouse in 1993 when he came to wish his ex teammates luck. I wonder why they dont enforce the smoking rule at the ballpark. JR always has a stogie going.

Because JR is a pompous prick that thinks he’s better than everyone.

He's the richest guy in the ballpark so he feels like he can do whatever the hell he wants.

If I was the richest guy in the ballpark and owned the team NGL I would feel that way too.  I don’t believe I would act as petty as he has over the years though, it’s been an incredible effort on his part

I can be UNBELIEVABLY petty so I know I would.

This crap is like a never  ending soap opera with these former players. Keep your mouth shut and Move On. Worry about how you are going to contribute to your new team.

This thread is longer than the game thread through regulation yesterday.

So they are leaving the kids in Chicago while he's playing in New York? That doesn't make sense. So he's now a visiting player and wants to have the same benefits as Sox players? 

I bet the Yankees allowed him to immediately use their day care. 

It's an employee benefit. He's not an employee. If they can show examples of other visiting players being allowed to, then I'll join the chorus of boos. But for following the established rules? I'm not going to criticize my team. 

The guy rips the organization on the way out the door then two weeks later "hey I know the rules but could you do me a favor and break them for me?"

So if you don’t know exactly the situation (and I admit I don’t either) you have a choice of who to believe. I choose to believe the s%*# show continues to be a s%*# show. This organization in its current state will never get the benefit of the doubt from me.

Although, what parent would leave their kids in the care of an organization they hated so much? Seems odd. 

You guys suck, you have no rules. Watch my kids for me. 

This is the dumbest fuckin thread I've read here in a while.

If I was a Jedi there is a 100% chance I would use the force inappropriately.

You want to talk about what's happening in the field instead? That's how bad it is right now. Lol

Here's what I'm confused about.  Her Twitter bio says "mom to 3 amazing young men Kamrynn, Karter and Kollynz"  No mention of Keynan.  She refers to him as her son in some posts.

The woman is Keynan’s wife. Not his mother.

Points 7 and 8 were the only two that materialized, 7 in a bad way.

10 Reasons Why the Sox will win the AL Central in 2023:

1. Pedro - As bad to worse.
2. Juan Castro - Somehow worse.
3. Better Health - About the same.
4. Eloy at DH - Still substandard.
5. Vaughn at 1B - Work in progress.
6. OF Defense - Colas is bad.
7. Angry Tim - LOLz
8. A New Junior - Yes!!!
9. The rotation - Bottom 1/3.
10. The Division - It does suck, but the Sox are by far the worst underperforming team in the AL (Mets and Caulfields in NL).

Or it could have been Juan Uribe, Jr., signing...lol.

My company stopped matching my 401k after I left. Should I call the police?!?!

Is this a serious thread?

Then I'm even more confused.  She refers to him as her son in multiple posts, including a tribute to Jackie Robinson where she thanks him for giving her son a chance to play.  She also refers to him as her baby.  And her profile picture looks more like 50 something age wise.  His MLB bio says his wife is Nicole, not Stephanie.

Okay maybe I’m wrong then.

If I was the richest guy in the ballpark and owned the team, I would sit in my darkened office at the ballpark plotting ways to screw over Pop Fisher and get his shares of the team.
