But the fact remains is that due to labor rules established within the MLBPA, they can't do anything until the investigation is concluded and if they tried, it would be a nightmare. Right and for hockey fans, we saw the false accusations that Patrick Kane had to deal with. We need to let this process play itself out. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tannerfan Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Living in New York City and Western Massachusetts, I think it’s interesting that this story is not being covered. The Boston Globe every Sunday has a full page dedicated to baseball news. While much of the stories are about the Red Sox, they also cover all of MLB and they’ve had nothing for the last three weeks. Obviously with a suspension the story will be covered but so far not a word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Is this guy going to be allowed to go to spring training or have the Sox put him on paid leave? Seems to me the Sox haven't done squat to improve the roster this offseason. You don't get better by subtraction of a decent player (Abreu) and adding zip.

Maybe zip if you look at his last four years cumulatively. We counted on a 2-3 fWAR from Pollock and ended up with the opposite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's my understanding they can't put him on admin leave because they haven't paid him yet and players do not get paid during spring training. If MLB doesn't hand down their suspension before pitchers and catchers report next week this asshole is going to spring training and it's gonna be a total s%*# show. At least the cowards will finally be held accountable and step in front of a microphone to explain to their fans how they even signed such a s%*# stain to begin with so I'm all for him reporting to spring training.

They will say because the matter is being investigated they can't say anything. They already said that in their official statement: ““Major League Baseball and the Chicago White Sox take any and all allegations very seriously, and the White Sox are completely supportive of the Joint Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault and Child Abuse policy shared by MLB and the MLBPA. MLB opened an investigation after learning of these allegations. The White Sox were not aware of the allegations or the investigation at the time of his signing. The White Sox will refrain from comment until MLB’s investigative process has reached its conclusion.” Edited February 7, 2023 by FourEyesShottenhoffer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope so. This has fallen out of the news cycle by now, but it's still lingering as the start of camp approaches. Soxdom needs some resolution very soon.

I thought I saw the 20th was Pitchers and Catchers reporting, so really they have almost two weeks. I know the Sox are where they are, but it is almost certainly going to take an action by MLB to prevent this from being a daily news item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
