re: MLB Trade Deadline Thread (8/1: Rangers acquire Lucroy and Jeffress)

No teams say it but they probably do think it.

I think it was a one-off, we've not heard anything bad about him before (as opposed to Yasiel Puig, Yordano Ventura, etc.) The White Sox have poor clubhouse chemistry and when your team is marginal that's the last thing you can afford to have (see how the White Sox have faltered badly after starting the season excellent).

The Rangers are also marginal; we see the gaping holes in the rotation and bullpen. And the offense has a lot of problems. But the great clubhouse chemistry allows them to get through it (maybe not for the entire season but for a lot longer than with other clubs).
