Chicago White Sox catcher Yasmani Grandal has broken his silence on the team’s disappointing season, calling for players to take responsibility for their performance.
“We can’t keep blaming the coaches or the front office,” Grandal said. “We need to hold ourselves accountable and play up to our potential.”
The White Sox, who were preseason favorites to win the AL Central, are currently languishing in third place with a 54-63 record. Grandal, a veteran catcher, has seen it all before.
“I’ve been in this situation before,” Grandal said. “We need to dig deep and find the spark that’s been missing.”
Grandal’s comments have sparked a wave of support from fans and fellow players alike. But will it be enough to turn the season around?
“We need to put our words into action,” Grandal said. “We need to start winning games.”
And so the pressure mounts. The White Sox face a crucial series against the Twins this week, with their playoff hopes hanging in the balance. Can they turn it around, or will it be too little, too late?
