White Sox general manager Rick Hahn clarified what occurred in a statement released at about 6:45 p.m. ET.

 

"Chris Sale has been scratched from tonight's scheduled start and sent home from the ballpark by the White Sox due to a clubhouse incident before the game," Hahn said. "The incident, which was non-physical in nature, currently is under further investigation by the club. The White Sox will have no additional comment until the investigation is completed."

How is it the organizations fault that this happened again?

They've let him throw a few temper tantrums with no repercussions. Just because he is good doesn't mean he can say whatever he wants to upper management and get it thrown around the internet making the whole team look bad.

Now that's true.

My theory/guess: an exec or number cruncher told sale he was scratched b/c he may or may not get traded then sale lost it on the dude.

Sale will never be a consistently great pitcher unless he learns how to control his emotions. It was pretty clear this year that once you got Sale out of his comfort zone, he'd get angry, overthrow, and get himself into trouble. His personality off the field reflects that too I guess.

It might motivate the FO to get it done. But they aren't taking a lesser offer.

 

Nor should they. But maybe it allows them to pick up the phone a little quicker.

Um, it might be when you're talking about giving up five top prospects for a guy. A little concerning if the guy has clubhouse issues. Not saying Chris does, but there is nothing positive about this.

 

The dudes a hot head. that's been known well before this. He was probably scratched and went all redneck when he was told. It's not a big deal.
