I'm saying they could have put him on some exempt list until further notice. If they didn't do this with the evidence they have available now, this thing could drag out with Clevinger playing. It may take time to get this through court, and I'm not sure anymore pictures of the abuse are coming in. So MLB may end up needing to wait a few months to make a decision when they could have put him on leave already.
MLB has had more than enough time to act. I think they are either waiting for more substantial evidence, or this case isn't looking strong legally. This is a very serious situation and strong allegations were made. MLB picked their lane and it's the wrong one.
That's because without substantial evidence and court appearances, Clevinger is going to play. The Union won't have it any other way, so the hate for it has to stick somewhere. It's just a sad situation all around.
I agree with this. They may even be cutting backdoor deals with his baby momma. No way he isn't booted off the team or not invited to camp if there was enough evidence against him.
Never forget that White Sox baseball is truly about making excuses, blaming the fans and media, being shocked when dumb decisions don't pan out, and most importantly, being mired in mediocrity.
It won't. Give it a few weeks, our sports media will pick up on it. It will also make some rounds through Twitter. Jerry won't care, but attention is the ultimate goal.
