John Danks had an idea the White Sox might be moving toward a change after he allowed six runs over five innings against the Orioles last week.
The veteran left-hander thought a move to the bullpen might be in the works, but he said he ultimately understood the Sox’s decision to cut ties with him after 10 seasons in the organization.
The Sox made the announcement Tuesday, and Danks cleared out his locker, said goodbye to his teammates and drove back to his home in Nashville, Tenn., the same day.
“The way my April went and the way the team is playing, I can’t fault anybody with the decision they made,” Danks said.
