Tony La Russa, who hasn’t coached a Major League Baseball game in about nine years, will be the next manager of the Chicago White Sox. The team made the announcement Thursday. La Russa will replace Rick Renteria, who was the manager from 2017 to 2020 and this season led the team to their first playoff appearance since 2008. “We are extremely excited about the future of this team,” White Sox general manager/senior vice president Rick Hahn said in a news release. “As we showed in 2020, this is a young, talented club that we expect to only grow better and better in the coming years. Adding in a Hall of Fame manager who is recognized as being one of the best in the history of the game, we are a step closer to our goal of bringing White Sox fans another championship.
