Circumstances
Baby-faced superstar enters 2004 season as #1 favorite of White Sox fans!
Early in season, fans start to hear that Magglio wants more dough!
He wants as much or more as AL newcomer Vladimir Guerrero of the Angels!
This ain't the kind of stuff fans want to hear!
Injures left knee on May 19, and is expected to be out of the lineup for just a short time!
It turns out that he needs surgery! It turns out that he has bone marrow edema!
This is serious stuff! Maybe he'll never play again! Nobody knows what to think!
|
|
After his injury Magglio changes agents twice!
Is secretive about his physical progress!
Won't let Sox doctors see him!
|
His new agent makes demands, tells Sox...
They can sign him but they're not allowed to...
... give him a physical examination before making an offer!
|
|
Magglio winds up losing the good will he accumulated with Sox fans and signs with the Detroit Tigers

Note-- In 2007 Magglio bats .363 to win the American League Batting Title
