Robert and the Sox had agreed to a six-year, $50 million deal with two options before his first major-league game, the largest deal in major-league history for a player without any service time. On July 24, 2020, Robert makes his long-awaited debut in the opener of the 2020 season, which starts in July after the MLB shutdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Unlike the debuts of Moncada, Giolito, Kopech, Eloy Jiménez and Dylan Cease, no fans are allowed inside the ballpark to witness Robert’s first game.
“Obviously the ones down there didn’t go well for us,” Sox general manager Rick Hahn said during a Monday conference call. “They went better right after the All-Star break, but if you look at the rosters we had in those seven games, sort of right in the midst of our injury issues.

“It’s definitely been tough going to some of the tracks this year, we get some of the most boos now,” Wallace said. “Everybody says as long as they’re making noise that’s fine, but you know, I get booed for different reasons and that’s the tough thing to swallow. I appreciate all those who were there doing the rain dance with us, pulling for us, supporting me my whole career, but especially those who have supported me with everything that’s gone on the last 15-16 months.”

“Yeah, definitely talking to Billy, just getting back to being more of a traditional point guard, where I’m comfortable,” Ball said last week. “Last year was different for me, but whatever Coach asks me, I’m going to do to the best of my abilities.
“Strength, how he feels, how the ball is getting out of his hand, can he manipulate his pitches, does he feel he’s able to potentially go five, six innings, give us X number of pitches in a game,” Hahn said. “It’s about taking the time following the previous outing to put us in a position of strength and building off of that. And putting us in position to succeed when his name is called in the next round.”
