TA's wikipedia page has more info on Jose Ramirez's comments about TA disrespecting the game. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Anderson_(baseball)#cite_note-56 TA was a part of the rotten "core" and needed to go.

And by the obvious improvement in the players that stuck around, he was obviously a big problem.

Nobody said he was the only problem. Some are just pushing back on the narrative that TA was a clubhouse leader and well respected teammate. There seems to be very little evidence to support that notion other than peoples feelings.

Which is being countered with... people's feelings. Awesome.

Some evidence was provided that shows TA may not have been a well like dude in the clubhouse and around professional baseball. The strange all star announcement video, giving the finger to a fan after TA made 3 errors in the first two innings, Jose Ramirez giving him the 80s Mike Tyson treatment, and the simple fact that TA is sitting on the unemployment line.

That isn't really evidence, except maybe the all-star locker room thing (of which we have no idea of what happened before or after, only a brief clip). Those are all reading your feelings into situations. Literally no one has actually come out and mentioned Tim Anderson as a problem, or even hinted at him. They have talked about a segregated clubhouse, and they have talked about a lack of direction from leadership.

What we do know is that the dude is totally out of professional baseball at 31 years old though. Doesn't seem like any team wants anything to do with him anymore.

And despite articles in the last week that expressly named guys like Grandal and Hendriks, TA's name wasn't in them. And no one wants him because he has been awful for two years now.

This is the same clubhouse who had to be forced to support Liam in his cancer recovery, but they're the good guys and TA is the bad guy. Makes sense.

Makes sense. Honestly doesn't appear like there were many "good" guys in the clubhouse at all. Bunch of shitty people and shitty baseball players. Great combination Rick Hahn and KW assembled there.
