White Sox DFA Latos, Sign Morneau

[Mike Sixel]

 

And after 8 games at AAA, the White Sox have activated Justin Morneau:

Good luck to him. Always one of my favorites on and off the field!

The White Sox primary DH has been Avisail Garcia and his 74 OPS+, so Morneau doesn't have a high performance bar to clear either.

September is almost useless for seeing what a player can do, since many teams are basically fielding a combo of AAA and MLB players. Some teams call players up faster than others.....all I know is the Sox seem to be more successful than MN, even though they apparently do everything wrong and the Twins are doing it the right way....

I think when other organizations say the Twins are doing it the right way, they're really saying, wow that's dumb but we don't want them to change since that's one organization we'll never have to worry about...

Did Morneau retire or is he hoping to sign with someone again?

[Otto von Ballpark]

Last I heard, Morneau was intending to play in 2017 if someone would sign him. The logical time to retire was after 2015, but he appears determined to hang on until the bitter end.
