Alcides Escobar Appears to Take Weird Shot at White Sox Front Office After They Cut Him

The Chicago White Sox elected to cut ties with former All-Star shortstop Alcides Escobar on Friday, a few months after both parties agreed to a minor league contract late into spring training.

We are unaware of the undisclosed featured appliances of that deal, but when you take a look at Escobar's brazen shot at the organization's front office on Twitter, it would appear as though the White Sox did wrong by the vet infielder.

This is all mere speculation but we presume that Escobar's "dishonest" claim relates to Chicago refusing to promote him despite the numbers he put up with Triple-A Charlotte. The 32-year-old was slashing .286/.343/.444 with 10 home runs at the time of his discharge. All told, those are very average statistics for the International League.

Perhaps Alcides could have "@'d" the White Sox organization on Twitter as opposed to the Charlotte Knights, who were professional enough to post a tribute thanking the former ALCS MVP for his services.

Unsurprisingly, the majority of White Sox fans did NOT approve of Escobar's scorn.

Oooof.

In truth, the Sox electing not to call-up the former Royals star makes total sense. The franchise, in the midst of a rebuild, is prioritizing youth over offensively-challenged veterans. Not to mention that they have a budding star -- Tim Anderson (who's 26 years old) -- doing a solid job at shortstop already.

Escobar had better hope his petulant actions don't cost him a roster spot on a contender looking to add infield depth ahead of the postseason.
