Maybe it is ridiculous. But my stance is it doesn't matter. If Hahn and Robing gave their word it was good before he signed, whether it was in the contract or not, the White Sox should be held to their word. That's it . And an article linked from last season about him did state he doesn't have unlimited access that many are assuming. There are certain times he can't be around.

 

1. the sox live up to their side of the agreement last yr.

2. kw didn't say he never can be in the dugout, only to turn it down.

3. things change that needed to readdress this point.

 

and the major point, other people involvement.

 

they are acting like preschoolers and reporting the he said / she said conversation.

 

this blame is not completely laroche, but the children that is in the dugout who wanted to jump in.

What a f***ing disaster. If Sale is moved, then you might as well ship off any other player with value as well.

 

All I know is that it puts the organization in a terrible position if their ace (and one of their best players) is completely trashing them to the media.

Chris Sale: We got bold faced lied to. #WhiteSox

I see that Sale is fanning the flames. Good to see he is so focused on the upcoming season...

Does Sale WANT to be traded?

 

Or does he simply feel that his relationship with Hahn/Ventura/Cooper is so strong that he can justify flying off at the handle against KW and continue the simmering feud without any repercussions for his Sox career?

 

Is that why Hahn and Ventura have been so quiet? Is this Sale's weird way of trying to show or prove to Reinsdorf that KW needs to be gone?

To what is Sale referring twhen he said they were lied to?

 

Quick guess is KW told the clubhouse LaRoche didn't have an agreement with the club prior to signing a contract about Drake's access

Well, this has officially become a problem.

 

The leadership from all sides is failing. Things like this just cannot be aired in public, and that goes for the players too.

 

This is not a good look for Sale.

 

The only good thing that could come out of this, is maybe this will finally be the end for Kenny.

Well at least we know why Sale and Drake got along so well. Sale has the mental stability of a 14 year old. Good lord. The lack of leadership talk from last year is absolutely true. They had nobody to do it. Definitely isn't Chris Sale.

Sale has to be referring to the Drake/LaRoche situation in terms of his right to be in the clubhouse...

 

And now Sale's not only saying KW lied or went back on his word, Chris somehow feels his position in the organization as one of the two franchise players allows him to "force" or "push" or limit KW completely in his access to that same domain.

 

While not quite the equivalent of Sculley pushing out Steve Jobs, he's definitely overstepping.

 

 

This is to the point where Jerry Reinsdorf needs to step in and settle things, like he did with Ozzie and KW.
