In the curious case of the Chicago White Sox versus Josh Donaldson, we call to the stand an expert witness who is familiar with both parties.
Liam Hendriks, a teammate of the Minnesota Twins third baseman when they played for the Toronto Blue Jays in 2015, currently is the White Sox closer.
Donaldson became public enemy No. 1 on the South Side after alleging Sox starter Lucas Giolito was “probably cheating” by using sticky stuff and then bragging of getting the better of Giolito in a parking-lot confrontation after Tuesday’s game.
Giolito, through a team spokesman, declined an interview request Thursday.
