4/19/24	White Sox' veteran Martin Maldonado 'trusting' in what he does while battling awful start. Martin Maldonado owned a .205/.281/.346 career hitting line through Thursday, so offense has not not the catcher's calling card during his 14-year career. Crochet gave up three homers, two to Alec Bohm worth six runs, and one to Whit Merrifield in three-plus innings. “One thing I learned in my career, whether you are going good or not, you have to keep doing what you do, trust in what you do and always keep working,” Maldonado said before the game. Maldonado said he knows what his numbers say, but said he's seeing the ball well. Source: https://chicago.suntimes.com/white-sox/2024/04/19/...

2/25/24	White Sox' Martin Maldonado owns up to not running hard on Cactus League ground ball. With so much emphasis on playing the game “the right way,” and doing the little things, not to mention play FAST, which in White Sox manager Pedro Grifol's world means “fearless, aggressive, selfless, technical,” seeing 37-year-old catcher Martin Maldonado not run hard on a dribbler near the mound made Grifol squirm just a bit. Maldonado was brought to the Sox at age 37 to not only handle the pitching staff but to lead a group none-too-deep with talent as Grifol and general manager Chris Getz re-establish a foundation with which to build. Granted, it was the first game of a somewhat meaningless Cactus League game Friday. Source: https://chicago.suntimes.com/white-sox/2024/02/25/...
