Way to be a complete dick. He had a divorce right in the middle of a pandemic. Maybe show a little grace? I for one am just thankful he's still doing what he can to stay conditioned and improve as much as he is able without game action. I thought he may never return back to the game 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Dunning who was in a formal camp was still ramping up when we called him up. The lack of a spring training and organized MiLB screwed everything up to start with. Kopech opting out added to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sucks that he's not playing pitching for the Sox, but he'll be back so get over it.

It sucks that he's not playing pitching for the Sox, but he'll be back so get over it. Further, he is not being paid an MLB salary nor accruing service time. The White Sox essentially get back the time he missed in the 2019 season due to injury. Why anyone would still be holding a grudge over this the day after the White Sox clinch a playoff spot for the first time in 12 years is beyond me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like Kopech however, I wouldn't get paid either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
