\"DARWIN\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Name:<\/strong>\u00a0Danny Darwin<\/p>\n

Rank:<\/strong>\u00a0224<\/p>\n

Position:<\/strong>\u00a0P<\/p>\n

Year With White Sox:<\/strong>\u00a01997<\/p>\n

41-year old Danny Darwin signed with the White Sox for his 20th big league season on February 7, 1997. \u00a0Darwin was 4-8 with a 4.13 ERA in 17 starts for a White Sox squad that found itself only 3 1\/2 games out of first place in the AL Central on July 31. \u00a0Chairman Jerry Reinsdorf did not see a bright future for the team, however, and allowed general manager Ron Schueler to pull the trigger on what would become known as the “White Flag” trade, sending Darwin, along with Wilson Alvarez and Roberto Hernandez, to the Giants in exchange for Keith Foulke, Bob Howry, Lorenzo Barcelo, Ken Vining, Mike Caruso, and Brian Manning.<\/p>\n

Darwin called it “one of the most bizarre trades I’ve ever seen” and predicted that future free agents may think twice about joining the South Siders. \u00a0“If they need one or two players to get over the hump, it may hurt them in the future,” Darwin said. “I think (the trade) will be in the back of some guys’ minds–`Do I want to go over there?’ You hear (Reinsdorf) say: `You’ve got to be crazy to think we’re going to catch Cleveland.’ Do you want to play for someone like that?”<\/p>\n
