Told to not bring is 14-year old so to the clubhouse every day, so decides to retire leaving 13 mil on the table.

I have to wonder how it could be every day. Does a 14-year old not go to school?

Anyway, let's discuss...
 
What's there to discuss Burrs.

He is a mushy pussy...aka at the first sign of hearing something he likes, he bails.
 
"Adam, sit down. Listen, it was cute and all when he was like ten years old, but now that he's 14 he's old enough to realize that all we do on our downtime is get trashed and run around on our wives. So this ends now."
It works the other way, too. What 14 year old wants to hang around his dad?
 
This is pretty shitty that the kid was brought into this. So is he now thinking that he's the reason his dad left baseball?
 
I do feel bad for the kid but at the same time, ultimately it's his Dad's fault. Agree 100% with Sox management on this -- not sure how word got our publicly as to the reason but that's too bad. If Dad initiated it by telling someone than that's his fault too.

Sox probably glad to take the PR hit here to get off the hook from paying him $13 million.

According to his Wiki page, LaRoche is a "devout Christian", who helped organize something called "Faith Day" at the Nationals Stadium. Sounds like a fun guy to be around.
 
Damn, and I thought ADP was playing fast and loose with the school attendance thing!
 
What would happen if every player wanted to bring in their kids? They'd have a dozen children running around. I get its spring training but main word - training. This is a job. Not some f'ing hobby. I get being a great Father and wanting your child to experience big league spring training but that should be for a day or two. Tops.
 
“We’re not big on school. I told my wife, ‘He’s going to learn a lot more useful information in the clubhouse than he will in the classroom, as far as life lessons.' "

What types of life lessons?

I thought his son was a special needs child and that's why he wasn't in school and hanging out with dad...if he's just a normal kid, he needs to get his ass back in school, and his dad needs to grow a set.

Because it's 1840 and special needs kids are kept in a locked shed a safe distinance from the "regulars".

No, you just create a separate free message board for them to congregate. That way, the "regulars" can focus on the usual 14 year old boy stuff.

Are you saying the pay board are the "regulars" and BWs is the "special needs" board?
 
Was this just a Spring Training thing or did this silly shit go on all season?
 
That kid may have to go to camps to pray away the gay when he's a little older. That seems like laroche's style
 
What are all the details here? I assume LaRoche's kid is only around during the summer when school is out? Chris Sale bashed Ken Williams publically for this and said LaRoche is the most likable guy in all of baseball.
 
The players should have handled this more professionally....by declaring a No Gay Thursday and sodomizing the kid with a broom handle in locker room.
