It depends how one defines 'didn't work out.' How do you feel about JD's 5 year contract? I feel it worked out. Some might look at 2020 and this year and feel it didn't work out.
What happened to 'one game at a time?' A ten game winning streak; that's asking a lot, but as the ultimate optimist, I'll give it my best shot. We all love the SOX and it would be a much less painful season if the SOX could at least finish over .500. Go SOX!
A manager's main job is to give his team the best chance to win. Arroyo replacing JD fulfills that obligation. This, of course, assumes that Story is in the line-up.
