Don Cooper was let go from the White Sox today.
That makes very little sense, in addition to firing the manager. Those guys took a young, bad team and turned it into a playoff team that looks like a potential monster going forward. In particular, Cooper fixed Giolito. That team went into the season a damaged-goods Keuchel and a bunch of under-25s for a rotation and made the playoffs. If that gets you fired, what was he supposed to do, turn Ross Detwiler into Kershaw?
