Chicago White Sox manager Tony La Russa will reportedly announce his retirement on Monday, according to Bob Nightengale of USA Today.
La Russa was planning to remain with the organization through 2023, but the strategy has changed after heart issues has kept him away from the team.
Chicago entered Sunday with a 78-80 record, good for second in the American League Central but not enough to compete for a playoff spot. It was a mark befitting a team that rarely strayed too far from mediocrity.

For La Russa, it didn't help that the team's performance improved once Miguel Cairo took over as interim manager.
