LaRussa said in that statement that health issues did not affect his ability to manage this year and called Chicago's season “an unacceptable disappointment.”

“It has become obvious that the length of the treatment and recovery process for this second health issue makes it impossible for me to be the White Sox manager in 2023,” La Russa said in a statement issued before a news conference Monday afternoon. “The timing of this announcement now enables the front office to include filling the manager position with their other offseason priorities.”

La Russa, who turns 78 on Tuesday, said in that statement that health issues did not affect his ability to manage this year and called Chicago’s season “an unacceptable disappointment.” The White Sox hired La Russa in place of less-experienced predecessor Rick Renteria in the hopes of turning a team that looked built for a few years of contention into a bona fide winner.

Odd. During an 8th inning rain delay at tonight's Toronto at Baltimore game, MASN showed an Oriole Classic game from 1983. It was an ALCS game between the Orioles & Chicago White Sox, with LaRussa managing. BTW, tonight's game was eventually called. Blue Jays beat the O's 5-1.
