When it came to accusations of the Chicago White Sox having a culture problem, former reliever Keynan Middleton was the first to speak up.
After he was traded to the New York Yankees, he said that “we came in with no rules,” mentioning that rookies were sleeping in the bullpen during games and so on. Current and former teammates went back and forth about whether it was all true or not.
Now that you’re caught up: Middleton came in to pitch on Wednesday at Guaranteed Rate Field. A fan noticed Middleton’s name wasn’t on the scoreboard, and what did THAT mean?
The White Sox denied it was any kind of shot at him:

Regarding the Keynan Middleton scoreboard ‘issue’ tonight:
I’m told emphatically that it wasn’t intentional. Every ballpark gets a feed directly from MLB & the Yankees have two #93’s on 40-man, Middleton & minor leaguer Everson Pereira. Caused the outage. #WhiteSox
