Another spring commute
Also considering it sounds like the major incidents happened in-season last year and the victim came forward as early as summer but we're only hearing about it now, it's possible MLB slow-walked their investigation because they didn't want to potentially have to suspend a key player on a post-season bound team, or create bad optics around them.

I am very curious as to how the White Sox didn't know about this.

The same way they hired TLR like a day after he was charged with DUI. By being loving idiots

The TLR thing was even worse, because loving Reinsdorf knew about it, but didn't bother to tell Hahn or Kenny about it.

I knew Reinsdorf knew, but not that he hid it from the others. You wouldn’t happen to know of an article/write up about it do you?

I remember Hahn’s pathetic speech when announcing the hire and I could hear his soul evaporating. Now it makes so much more sense that he was blindsided to that degree

he was pretty mediocre last year and got his rear end kicked in his two postseason appearances (8 R, 8 outs, in 20 batters), the Padres might have welcomed an excuse to have him off the roster down the stretch

quote:

Before being hired as the White Sox's new manager in late October, Tony La Russa informed team chairman Jerry Reinsdorf in the interview process of his arrest for suspicion of driving under the influence in the Phoenix area in February 2020.

When exactly other high-ranking officials in the organization beyond Reinsdorf learned of La Russa's arrest remains unclear. Reinsdorf kept his knowledge of La Russa's arrest private from those within the White Sox organization, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reported Wednesday without specifying further timeline details.

That raised the question of whether executive vice president Kenny Williams and general manager Rick Hahn knew about the incident before La Russa was hired. The arrest didn't become public knowledge until ESPN first reported it on Nov. 9, 11 days days after La Russa was introduced.

On Wednesday, Hahn declined comment when asked whether he was aware of La Russa's arrest before the hiring, deferring to the first day of spring training for the White Sox as the topic he would prefer to discuss.

Yeah man, Reinsdorf is the loving worst.

This poo poo is so weird it's like "I'm told the search is down to two candidates: one who was responsible for drafting and developing all-star CF Teoscar Hernandez, Bo Bichette, and Cavan Biggio and The Clunge, who plays bass in Jeff Bagwels nu-metal cover band"



Congrats to 4-star recruit Bronny James on his accomplishment of not assaulting a woman.

My first reaction was, how are the Royals giving up on Mondesi so soon? Then I realized he's on his last year of arb. :staredog:

I feel like the Marlins are so associated with being cheap and lovely I'd change the name if I bought it.

Every single year the Ivy League takes a break from fucking up the world through its various alumni to fuck up everyone's bracket instead.
Bad feeling that this is the tip of an iceberg that the league will manage to keep submerged (or at least can’t figure out why no one would sign Bauer except to keep other worse or at least more systematic poo poo from coming out)
