Turns out, TA was in a different market than Andrew Benintendi. 

Miami always gets their guy,

I wish him nothing but luck.  The last year and a half was rough for on and off the field reasons, but he had a hell of a run before that and was one of the reasons I watched them.  Hopefully he can get back on track 

 

Hopefully the kid figures out his stuff and gets back to what was a great start to a career.

Go get em, TA.

Good for Tim.  I hope he figures out his off field stuff, because I think that certainly attributed to some of his on field issues.

I hope he gets his act together. It already cost him $8 million. I am worried his legs are not going to let him get back to what he was.

I don’t think I’ll ever find myself rooting for him.

Would have paid him that to play 2B and bumped Nicky to a bench role.

Hope Burger and Tim kick ass and win some playoff series.

White Sox have produced 2 1/2 starters for Marlins in Burger, Anderson and Avi Garcia.

White Sox have also produced 2 1/2 starters for their own team:  Robert Vaughn and Moncada.  If Eloy actually stays healthy, you can count him as another 1/2, lol.

That, I can root for.

I'm with this guy. He became a continued embarrassment  to the White Sox, and by extention, embarrassment to the Sox fan base. There were just so many incidents that I can no longer root for him; I can't. 

He was well on his way to being in my top 3 Sox players of all time, and then he very much wasn't. Hope it works out for him but I'm doubting he will be able to find it again.

For me it's tough.  He went from a favorite to a guy I wanted off the team.  Ultimately, I can say I'm glad he found a job, and I'm glad it wasn't with the Sox.

I doubt there was interest from the Sox to sign him nor from TA to sign here.

Marlins pitching staff in for one heck of a ride this season with those two playing next to each other. 

This just means we’re that much closer to a deal with former Royal Adalberto Mondesi…also under consideration by Miami.

And at least Jazz and Tim will dial up some excitement together.

 

Doubt they make this move without talking to Burger and Avi first.

Hopefully he turns it around and earns himself a nice deal in 2025.

Wowza.. sad. Good luck TA. I expect and project a great season.

Avi hasn’t played with him for 6 years now. Not really relevant to talk to him.

I have a big soft spot for TA.  His background reminds me of a lot of kids in my hometown who come from disastrous home lives and bring that chaos into adulthood.  The guy obviously has some demons and hangers on who want to milk him, and he feels bad cutting those poisonous people off.  The ability to live your life in a mode where you aren't registering everything as a threat to your well-being is a thing a lot of people never learn.  His reactions to thing on social media remind me of a lot of high school kids I see on a regular basis.  I feel for the guy.  Most of it is through no fault of his own, though some of it is.

2013-18 with same organization…I guarantee he knows a lot more about “singles life” TA than anyone on this board, or Kim Ng.

2016-18 together with Sox as well.

It was time to move on from him, but I wish him the best of luck. He worked so hard to make himself a better hitter and he was so fun to watch play, then it all fell apart unfortunately for him and the White Sox.
