Adam LaRoche is retiring and turning down $13M because the Sox asked him not to bring his 14 year old son to the clubhouse every day.

usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/2016/03/16/adam-laroche-retires-over-family-dispute-white-sox/81871856/

As a Sox fan, I am thrilled that LaRoche is retiring. He was fucking garbage last year. And I'm 100% with Kenny Williams telling him to dial it back a bit. Having your kid there every single day is absolutely ridiculous. The kid even had his own locker and would go on road trips!

Agree.
Laroche is just fucking weird.
And the White Sox are at fault for letting the whole situation take place.

Yeah, it probably never should have gotten to this point in the first place. But at the same time, the Sox are LaRoche's employer and instead of doing what they asked him to do, he decides to run away and retire.

$13M

The White Sox are more than thrilled that this weirdo is walking away.

Absolutely! $13M free to make a big move now or sometime during the season and get rid of a black hole in the lineup. Besides a little bit of bad PR possibly, this all worked out great for the Sox.

He is in the position where he can retire...and I agree that the organization should have cut that shit off a while back. Why would that be acceptable?!

Apparently a few players complained about the kid being in the clubhouse constantly so that explains the timing of this. I don't blame them one bit....could you imagine being a major league baseball players and having to watch what you say in the clubhouse because some guy can't come to work without his kid??? Ridiculous.

Braves fan here. Wondering if we're actually going to field a team with MLB-caliber players this year. Of course, anybody of any worth is likely to get traded for a pitching prospect that will be ready in 2019

Yeah, i agree: shouldn't be bringing your kid to work. Besides, shouldn't he be in school right now?>LOL!!

Pretty pretty sure if I hit that home run Bautista hit, I would be doing somersaults around the bases.

And just to add, I cannot stand Bautista.

Abso-fucking-lutely.

The antiquated hot takes of unwritten rules, how you're "supposed" to play the game, and all that bullshit, is what's holding the sport back. Make it a goddamn circus for all I care. ENTERTAIN ME.

frig ... even in golf you are allowed to pimp a drive and fist pump a putt ... baseball is a joke when it comes to this stuff ... it doesn't like someone flipping a bat but it's ok to send a 98 mph fastball at someone's head or slide hard with your cleats up ...

Great start to the season here!

Seeing a lot that the Sox said the kid could be around last year. Well, things change when the team is fucking garbage and you hit .200. At the end of the day, you do what your boss tells you to do. If you don't like it, then you walk away from $13M like this idiot is doing.

Agreed and it's none of other players business. I am sure everyone I work with would be just fine if I brought my dog in everyday, but it's not up to them.

Yep. Can't believe this is such a huge thing. Give it a week and the internet will have something else to be outraged about and this will be a great thing for the Sox. They get rid of one of their worst players and save $13M which gives them more flexibility to make another move. Win-win

Jason P

The team was considering boycotting Wednesday's game over the kid and dropping f-bombs on their boss? The White Sox are a bunch of weirdos.

It's not like he has asking him to trim those sideburns.

LaRoche sounds/looks like the kinda guy that's a Trump supporter, who also home-schools his kid.
