Did they do an Eloy Jimenez, Luis Robert, or Yoan Moncada night?

That's my point. People care more about TA than any of those other guys. Hence, why his stuff gets talked about more. No one gives a s%*# about Eloy's girlfriend.

Again, why TA, and the guys who DO get mentioned, who have very specific things in common, versus those who do NOT.

Again, why not Michael Kopech? He came in with probably the highest expectations of anyone in that era, yet when the disappointments are listed, his name is never mentioned. Good teammate? Dude punched his roomate in the minors. The story he cheated on his wife within six months of their marriage, hence the quick divorce. Drug suspension, and racist social media posts also happened during his career. He also opted out of 2020. Is it ever brought up when he is mentioned? No. Why?

TA is way more high profile than Kopech. Kopech is a bust and nobody gives a s%*# about him or thinks highly of him. TA was a star and leader of one of the most disappointing teams in White Sox history. His downfall coincided with the downfall of that team. Totally different scenarios.

So TA achieved the most by far out of that group, probably had the lowest expectations, and yet guys like Michael Kopech never even get mentioned when the failings of that era are railed on. We dont' talk about the failings in his personal life.
