Sorry, Adam LaRoche: Baseball Locker Rooms Aren't Daycare Centers | VICE Sports

There are teenagers in daycare centers?

The problem is that it was written into his contract.

Let's see it...ESPN jawboning doesn't cut it.

 

[podsox]

I wonder why a player would privately go to management to complain and not go to the clubhouse. Maybe because the clubhouse is filled with immature jackasses like sale who wouldn't react kindly

 

[tabascojet]

what better way to dump 13 million in salary by an underachieving contract.....white sox fire larouch up and he performs or he gets all grumpy and quits. sounds win/win to me.

 

[tabascojet]

ftr larouch himself has only said his sons presence was discussed before signing with white sox.......never once has he said it was in my contract

 

[skinzfan]

Apparently the Nats let him do it too.

I didn't see it in writing, just heard it reported and really don't give a shit if you believe it or not.

I don't know how you do trade him even though he is a moron. His contract is one of the biggest steals in baseball

And everyone else heard it reported that it was a "handshake" type of deal so when you contradict other people's info, it should be expected that someone will ask you to back it up since you're the only one that heard it.

If it was possible I would have provided a link.

I believe that you did, in fact, hear ESPN say that.

I also believe ESPN was full of shit when they said it...

Maybe they were but I'm just the messenger.

It's not win win because now your best player has gone full retard and your clubhouse is fucked

LaRoche, along with Brewers pitcher Blaine Boyer, spent 10 days in November in Southeast Asian brothels, wearing a hidden camera and doing undercover work to help rescue underage sex slaves.

 

[bravesfan]

Laroche is a butt hugging quitter. Using his family as an excuse is childish, he never had any guts and that's why the braves let him walk in his prime

 

[moxie]

Looks like a real wordy article... what's the TL;DR version? He just being a bitch or what?
