Sox Math: Chicago adds Justin Morneau, subtracts Mat Latos
Justin Morneau smiled from his seat in the dugout as he looked out toward U.S. Cellular Field.
“We had a great rivalry here,” said Morneau, a four-time All-Star and the 2006 American League MVP who spent 11 seasons with the Minnesota Twins. “It was two teams that were very good. They were lucky enough, or good enough, to win the World Series in ’05, and we thought we had a team that was good enough in ’06.”
It seemed like the latest reflective, anniversary-style interview with a star player from yesteryear.
Except it wasn’t.
