This afternoon, the White Sox announced that they have acquired Franklin German from the Boston Red Sox in a reliever swap. In return, the White Sox are sending Theo Denlinger to Boston.
At the time of the Tony La Russa hiring, the main rationale for bringing on the then-76-year-old was his championship track record as a head coach. Many said that his prowess in managing games would more than make up for any clubhouse rifts stemming from the age gap between La Russa and his players.

Chicago acquired Boston's 2022 Minor League Relief Pitcher of the Year in a trade. The Chicago White Sox struck a deal Friday with the Boston Red Sox. The teams exchanged pitchers in the agreement, with the White Sox acquiring Franklin German and the Red Sox receiving Theo Denlinger.
A value signing that turned ugly
1996To help fortify a comically-thin rotation (of the four core starters in 1995, just Wilson Alvarez and Alex Fernandez would remain with the team/stay healthy through 1996) the White Sox signed righthander Kevin Tapani to a one-year, $1.5 million deal.
After seven years in Minnesota compiling 19.1 WAR, Tapani was dealt to the Dodgers to help a playoff run. However, Tapani was horrible in the stretch for L.A., culminating in an NLDS that saw him...
Morale within the White Sox fan base has reached a dangerously low point with few bright spots on the horizon. The offseason for your Chicago White Sox can't be described as anything other than an abject failure.
