The policy change is not something that I’ve seen him cite, if he’s addressed the media at all I haven’t seen it yet. Regardless that tidbit came after I wrote this, but I don’t think LaRoche is looking to denigrate the Sox, he’s just unhappy with the situation.

Why didn’t he cite additional factors other than his son? If there are others reasons, perhaps he should clarify them. Perhaps he want to denigrate the Sox?

You couldn’t be righter Matt. I don’t think this was a decision Laroche took in the heat of a moment. If it was, this whole thing is ridiculously childish (Even literally). Nobody knows his body better than Laroche. Maybe he knew he is kinda done, and that he was going to be out of baseball when the Sox cut him by June, so he maybe didn’t see the point (Other than making a few million dollars which is a really good point) to continue and missing time with his child.
