Derek Hill on the White Sox is so White Sox. I can't explain it but it is.

That is a bigger list than I would have guessed.  Thanks for compiling.

Pardon my ignorance, what did Nicholas Castellanos do to fall out of favor in Philadelphia?

I guess bring beer and a hotdog into the dugout after being benched during a game isn't the smartest thing in the world

Quote

On Thursday Castellanos addressed the "Miami incident," in an Instagram post. He did not reveal the comment that angered his teammates but admitted to bringing a beer into the dugout out of frustration after Thomson removed him from the game.

"After being taken out of a close ball game in front of my friends and family, I brought a Presidente into the dugout," Catellanos wrote. "I then sat right next to Rob and let him know that too much slack in some areas and too tight of restrictions in others was not conducive to us winning."

Eh, the beer thing was just the final straw, IMO. He wasn’t very good on offense and never was with a glove.

He was a dickhead.  Kind of Higgy-like, making stupid comments.  Good riddance.

Nick was probably a spoiled pampered elite athlete his whole life, bot inside and outside his own house, so maybe he never had to learn to become mature and play nice with other people.

Alex Cobb didn't get a sweetheart contract from some other GM?
