Chris Sale apologizes for cutting up White Sox jerseys, felt team put
business interests ahead of winning
Chris Sale just wants to win, the same cannot be said for the White Sox.
That was their ace's sentiment in an interview with MLB.com in which he
addressed why he cut up throwback uniforms before Saturday’s game which led
to a five-game suspension.
“Our main focus should be winning,” Sale said. “Nothing else matters
really.”
Sale was particularly upset with the uniforms because they were too large and
uncomfortable to play in. He said many other players were not fans of the
jerseys and the team was putting business ahead of winning.
“People don’t talk about the guys who get paid the most. They talk about
the guys with the rings and teams that won rings,” Sale said. “Our guys in
this clubhouse deserve, in every single game, the best opportunity to go
achieve that goal of winning a championship. That’s why we are all here.
Nothing else matters.”
Sale had expressed his displeasure with the uniforms the night before his
start with the clubhouse attendant and White Sox pitching coach Don Cooper.
When there was no change in the uniform he addressed it with manager Robin
Ventura and admitted that was when he lost it.
"I tried to bring it up and say, 'Hey listen, these are my thoughts and
concerns,' and they got pushed away because of the business deal that was set
in place. I'll never understand why we need to do something on the business
side on the field that might impede us winning a game,” Sale said. “[The
'76 uniforms] are uncomfortable and unorthodox. I didn't want to go out there
and not be at the top of my game in every aspect that I need to be in. Not
only that, but I didn't want anything to alter my mechanics.”
Sale said he apologized to teammates on Monday and regrets putting himself in
the situation.
“I play 33 times a year at most in the regular season. So I put a lot of
emphasis on when I play and I take a lot of pride in work that I do," Sale
said. "When I can't or don't do that, yeah, I have disappointment in myself
for not being there for my guys.
"Do I regret standing up for what I believe in? Absolutely not. Do I regret
saying business should not be first before winning? Absolutely not."
Sale is scheduled to take the mound again on Thursday against the Cubs.
