    What's the deal with Adam Laroche?

    This guy is really going to walk away from $13 million over his stupid kid?

    I applaud Kenny Williams. What a clever way to get out of paying this bum.

    Except that he's pissed off his ace Chris Sale and now the whole team threatening to boycott. K. Williams needs an ego-reduction surgery.

    Chris Sale will be just fine when Kenny tells him that $13 million will go towards his next contract.

    I don't know how many MLB players bring their little leaguers to headquarters every day?

    It's cool that he wants his kid involved.

    But... it's MLB... he's under contract. The White Sox organization isn't training his kid.

    I'm sure the GM found a way to get him out of the contract. Smart move.

    But Laroche is being a baby about the entire thing.

    Perform... and train your kid in the offseason if you want... away from the White Sox organization.

    It'll be interesting to hear what Laroche has to say. Apparently, there may have been an oral agreement that allowed him to bring the kid whenever he wanted, although it sounds like there was nothing in writing.

    I've also heard Laroche is about as dumb as a bag of rocks.

    We'll see what happens. I think he's supposed to talk tomorrow.

    Shouldn't the kid be in school?

    Laroche quit because he sucked last year and won't turn it around this season. Using his kid as an excuse is weak.

    Why do you say the kid is stupid?

    The kid is homeschooled. I believe he went to all their games, home and away.

    No one is walking away from $13 million.

    Williams prolly thinking "I should've done this sooner"

    Not sure why Laroche thinks bring your kid to work day supposed to last 365.

    I'm sure it's not always comfrtable for other guys in the clubhouse either...what if you want to rock out with your rooster out, I wouldnt feel comfortable around a kiddo.

    My opinion, Laroche is a chump plain and simple. Been a sox fan since my first game back in 81. My hat tips to him for wanting his teenage son to b there, but at the same he had a job to attend to. Got all pissy when Kenny called him out on his son being around too much. Who here brings there kid to work every day? I wouldn't mind, but my supervisor would.

    And walking away from 13 million is ridiculous. Money must grow on trees for him? He might regret walking away 5 years from now.
