seasoned shortstop with the White Sox On Thursday, Tim Anderson, now a member of the Miami Marlins, returned to Chicago and expressed his displeasure with his previous team in an undiplomatic manner.
The media in Chicago had the opportunity to question Anderson about his departure from the White Sox while he was in town for the Marlins’ game against the Cubs.

Around 2020, when he was consistently hitting.300 with power and was a member of a club that won 93 games and a division title in 2021, Anderson looked to be headed for greatness.
