Just think it will be a slow offseason with owners trying to be cheap and recoup some of the lost revenue. Didn’t we sign Grandal right around Thanksgiving and everyone was shocked he signed so quickly? Unless it’s an overpay I don’t think any big names are going to sign until the winter meetings which go 6-10 December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough, I thought you meant they wouldn’t sign anyone until the case is resolved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will hide behind excuses and pretend the outcome might matter, but we already know it won't. They've had nearly 48 hours to wash their hands of the situation and its obvious that they are standing by TLR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlando Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 (edited) They make it seem like if he gets found guilty, he will be fired (which he won’t). Why wait until after the case? That’s stupid. Case happens and he ends up found guilty and what can they say then? Drunk driving is bad? Why can’t you say it now and calm your fan base down.

ron883 Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Another ridiculous aspect that people have touched (aside from the obvious distraction for the team) is that hiring his coaching staff will likely get delayed by this. It shows the complete and utter selfishness and arrogance that is Tony La Russa. This is NOT good for the team. If he or Reinsdorf have a damn about what is best for the White Sox, Tony would step down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selfishness and arrogance of Jerry you mean, again if you go back to the press conference Tony said Jerry was the one to approach him first. Jerry challenged him to come back. This is Jerry’s doing and Jerry’s doing only. It’s a huge mess that I hope frankly blows up so horribly in the chairman’s face. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
