Every trilogy needs an ending to tie up all the loose ends, so the return of La Russa to the Chicago White Sox as adviser, consultant, resident sage or whatever title the team prefers was probably …
Tony La Russa 3.0 is the sequel you didn’t know you needed.
“I’ve had these meetings before,” Grifol said. “I said it a couple days ago. This is not my first meeting. I had a couple meetings in April, a couple meetings in May. This is an ongoing thing. We’re all in this thing together, top to bottom. So this is not because of what transpired. This is something that we do in ways that we’ve done all year to get us better. That’s what this is about — getting better.
When we last saw La Russa, he left the Sox on doctor’s orders with a month left in the debacle that was the 2022 season. His health had been a concern in spring training, we later discovered, and with a team going nowhere it was imperative for La Russa to deal with his medical issues. Neither Getz nor his new co-partner, assistant GM Jeremy Haber, have made themselves available. Haber has top billing on the flow chart, though Getz knows the farm system that he helped build, for whatever that’s worth. Williams’ son, assistant director/player development Ken Williams Jr., is third in the minor-league operations flow chart under director Kathy Potoski.
