Tony La Russa, a member of baseball’s Hall of Fame, the third-winningest manager in baseball history, a three-time World Series champion and a four-time winner of the Manager of the Year Award, has been named the new manager of the Chicago White Sox. https://t.co/RKP24rleHP

This move doesn't come as a total surprise because USA Today's Bob Nightengale reported Oct. 12 that La Russa was a possible candidate for the White Sox.
