Just a week ago this man was playing for the first place Dodgers and living in beautiful Los Angeles.
Now was he an everyday contributor for them?
Not at the moment, but Vargas has had moments for them over his first 2.5 seasons.
Guy looks like he just buried his dog.
That’s what playing for a team that White Sox Dave roots for is like.
Here’s his first session with the Chicago media.
you might see the pain in this man’s eyes.
That’s unfortunately part of the business of being a professional athlete.
He’s being paid to play baseball for a living, regardless of the environment.
Sure it sucks in the immediate, but you’ll live.
The whirlwind behind being trade has to fuck with you mentally so hard.
There’s a positive to Vargas going to a team like the White Sox and it’s playing time.
Look at that roster.
He’s going to have every opportunity to play for them and rack up at bats.
Easy motivation for sure, but not a small task by any means.
