White Sox manager told reporters on Wednesday that he doesn't believe there's any divide in the team's clubhouse following Yermín Mercedes's homer in Mondays' 16–4 blowout against the Twins, according to ESPN's Jesse Rogers.
Despite La Russa's claims, there has certainly been a divide between his reaction and his players' reactions to Mercedes's home run.
Shortstop Tim Anderson offered support for Mercedes on social media, while pitchers Lance Lynn and Lucas Giolito backed the rookie when asked about the situation by reporters in the days that followed. La Russa, however, remains dug in on his stance regarding his designated hitter's decision to swing at a 3-0 pitch from a position player pitching during a blowout win.
