I hope it isn't anything worse than a bad back.

This probably pushes Jackson into starting in CF, Eaton in LF and Cabrera to DH.

I think it gives the Sox an opportunity to take on a contract someone might be looking to shed for little in return.

Eaton starts the season at DH to allow his shoulder to strengthen following off season surgery. Jackson is CF, Garcia if RF.

Hahn is looking to fill the roster spot with another ex-cub. He is in discussion with Hee-Seop Cho.

Eaton predicts he will be at full strength in a week.

They really need him to reproduce his 2014 power numbers if he is going to be worthy of LF.

he or maybe marlon byrd to a minor league contract

Morneau is probably the better option in terms of giving the Sox a guy with a OBP and fewer K. He is also LH. However, it seems like his power has left him, even in Colorado.

The team just improved. This is a Festivus Mricale!
I hereby revise my 2016 White Sox prediction to 83-79

Another scrub gets embarrassed so badly in the A.L. they retire and leave millions on the table.. Great news for the Sox though.

This is turning out to be one heck of a day. LaRoche retires and they released shit bucket Olt. Now all they have to do is give that giant turd Jacob Turner his walking papers and it will be a banner fucking day.

He's claiming "personal reasons" which I hope means "I don't want to be Adam Dunn 2.0" and not "my wife has a drinking problem" or something similar.

14 million dollars for 6 months of DH and relief @ first base, real dumb move.. Just like Dumpster with Boston.

Kaplan and the STL crew hinting it's something serious to do with his family.

Good luck and God bless #25.

Like he Personally hates being on the S side of Chicago and missing hunting.

While none of us would probably want to sit in a blind for 48 hrs with a bunch of guys (Darkside excluded) versus playing MLB....I totally understand it. He has enough money, so why not go and od what you want to do.

If he wasn't so outmatched and getting booed for being a bum..he'd stick it out and honor his contract..Im hoping a grizzly eats his ignorant ass.

So now you are mad at the guy who helped your team by leaving...?

Ever thought of booing these guys who gave him the money?

I am shocked the guy doesn't want to ride the pine for a season and collect another 13 million. The Sox got a huge break here, as it was addition by subtraction. LaRoche was not likely to contribute much and now they not only can use the 25th spot on the roster for a better player, but utilize the 13 million to perhaps add a significant player that can help the team. If not now, perhaps close to the trade deadline, should the team be contending for a wildcard berth or a division title. Huge break.
