I have to say, I didn’t expect to write much about Tony La Russa this offseason, other than perhaps how he might assist in the Angels search for a general manager, in his current rule as special advisor in baseball operations.
But here we are, with the Angels granting permission for the Chicago White Sox to interview La Russa for their open managerial position. Bob Nightengale at USA Today was the first to report this. The story was since confirmed by Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register and Alden Gonzalez of ESPN.
