Tim Anderson signs with MIA, 1Y/5M

I wish him nothing but luck.  The last year and a half was rough for on and off the field reasons, but he had a hell of a run before that and was one of the reasons I watched them.  Hopefully he can get back on track

I'm with this guy. He became a continued embarrassment  to the White Sox, and by extention, embarrassment to the Sox fan base. There were just so many incidents that I can no longer root for him; I can't.

For me it's tough.  He went from a favorite to a guy I wanted off the team.  Ultimately, I can say I'm glad he found a job, and I'm glad it wasn't with the Sox.

Would have paid him that to play 2B and bumped Nicky to a bench role.

I doubt there was interest from the Sox to sign him nor from TA to sign here.

This just means we’re that much closer to a deal with former Royal Adalberto Mondesi…also under consideration by Miami.

And at least Jazz and Tim will dial up some excitement together.

 

Doubt they make this move without talking to Burger and Avi first.

Avi hasn’t played with him for 6 years now. Not really relevant to talk to him.

I have a big soft spot for TA.  His background reminds me of a lot of kids in my hometown who come from disastrous home lives and bring that chaos into adulthood.  The guy obviously has some demons and hangers on who want to milk him, and he feels bad cutting those poisonous people off.  The ability to live your life in a mode where you aren't registering everything as a threat to your well-being is a thing a lot of people never learn.  His reactions to thing on social media remind me of a lot of high school kids I see on a regular basis.  I feel for the guy.  Most of it is through no fault of his own, though some of it is.

2013-18 with same organization…I guarantee he knows a lot more about “singles life” TA than anyone on this board, or Kim Ng.

2016-18 together with Sox as well.

It was time to move on from him, but I wish him the best of luck. He worked so hard to make himself a better hitter and he was so fun to watch play, then it all fell apart unfortunately for him and the White Sox.
