Andy is probably trying to overcompensate for not being allowed to hang around the clubhouse with his dad. I'm sure club house with the Yanks in the early 80s would have been a great daily education for children.

adam laroche posted -1.4 fWAR at age 35 last year. if he wants to give up $13m because his kid doesn't have adequate clubhouse access, i'm sure the white sox are more than happy to oblige
― mookieproof, Thursday, 17 March 2016 02:15 (eight years ago) link
maybe that was the white sox's plan

@Ken_RosenthalSale told Williams, unequivocally, to get out of the clubhouse and stay out, per a source. Williams acknowledges meeting was passionate. 2/2
― Andy K, Thursday, 17 March 2016 18:14 (eight years ago) link
now rumored that kid access was part of laroche's contract?
― mookieproof, Thursday, 17 March 2016 18:15 (eight years ago) link
that would make sense given that they didn't tell him he couldn't bring him, but instead asked him if maybe they could "dial it back"

accommodating the player or players who complained, taking the fall, and lucking into the gift of $13MM of dead weight walking away, I'd say Williams should be an early candidate for GM of the Year.

@Ken_Rosenthal To be clear: Prince Fielder is not retiring. He is medically disabled and doctors will not clear him to play, sources say.
When a player retires, he effectively renounces the rest of his contract. Fielder is not doing that. Again, the money is guaranteed.

Wonder if Fielder's bellyflop slides contributed to his condition. Each one looked painful.
― Andy K, Wednesday, 10 August 2016 21:52 (seven years ago) link
That is pretty a pretty weird happenstance that the Fielder's both ended up at 319 homers.

@jcrasnickJonny Gomes is planning to play in 2017. "I've got some more pull homers in the tank," he says. He turned 36 in November.
