South Side Hit Men Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 https://chicago.suntimes.com/white-sox/2023/12/14/24000128/tonys-place-healthier-larussa-back-wants-state-where-he-fits-with-white-sox-reinsdorf-grifol-getz On his role in 2024, including being at Spring Training nearly every day. Quote He’ll be “limited and it’s focused,” doing what he can to “build that family culture, and how that translates into practicing and getting fundamentals right.” “That’s really very focused and limited because I’m not going to have any thump where I walk up to anybody and say ‘this is how you should play and practice’ because they’re the guys who are on the line. But I’m going to be a resource,” La Russa said. La Russa also denies being involved in the Front Office Purge and is pissed off at AJ. Quote “I got really upset when a particular guy [former Sox and current broadcaster and podcaster A.J. Pierzynski implied] I had something to do with that. I was never asked about the changes at the top. Kept saying I was involved, I was never asked about or involved with Kenny and Rick [getting fired].” Continued losing impacts Jerry’s health. Quote “He catches a lot of heat that should be directed at guys he hires, like me and coaching staffs,” La Russa said. “We’re the ones who can get our hands on what the final score is. The better the White Sox play, the healthier he is. So try to have a great season.” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chitownsportsfan Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 JR catches a lot of heat for making bad hires, you're almost there Tony.

This guy has done things in the game people won’t ever dream of.” LOL on this Grifol quote La Russa also wants it known he had nothing to do with vice president Ken Williams and general manager Rick Hahn getting fired by Reinsdorf in August and had no input with Getz and Grifol putting their staffs together.
