When I was a cub reporter a hundred years ago, an old editor told me something I repeated often during my career: "don't guess on motives."
Of course, those were the days before the Internet...and even cable TV. So the rules have certainly changed. Plus, it's a free country.
But I look at it this way. Was Lloyd's decision based on a personal dislike of Erasmo? Or was it based on his belief that it was the best decision to help him win a ballgame? Of course, we can't say. And we could surmise that in part it might have been driven by his personal (erroneous?) opinion of Erasmo.
But I have to think the only thing going through his mind at the moment was what would best avoid a split with the White Sox.
But of course, that's just guessing, too.
