Tony La Ru sa should not see the inside of the White Sox's clubhouse in 2021 after what was reported Monday night. And the White Sox need to be judged even more harshly for hiring La Ru sa as their new manager.

that La Ru sa wasarrested on suspicion of DUI in the Phoenix arealast Russell Wilson Jerseys Feb. 24 after he drove his vehicle into a curb and blew out a tire. Hewas arrested after a field sobriety test. An "argumentative" La Ru sa refused a breath test and declined to give urine orblood samples, ESPN reported, citing the police report. An officer obtained a warrant under Arizona law to draw blood from La Ru sa to determine his blood alcohol level.

La Ru sa's case was filed in court onOct. 28, the day before the White Sox announced his hiring. The Maricopa County Attorney's Office told ESPN that the eight-month lag was partly due to the Steve Hutchinson T Shirts case being initially filed in the wrong jurisdiction.

But don't think that the White Sox were blindsided by the timing of the case or given pause by the arrest itself. The Athletic's that a team spokesman saidthe organization was aware of the arrest before it hired the 76-year-old La Ru sa. USA Today's Bob Nightengale, citing an #12 Jerseys unnamed "high-ranking White Sox official," and not face club discipline.It's unclear whether MLB will look to punish La Ru sa after the case is closed.

Add that attitudeto La Ru sa's legal history, and you get a decision that's a lot worse than just being a potentially bad baseball move.

The Arizona incident was La Ru sa's second DUI arrest. He was charged inFlorida in Tyler Lockett T Shirts 2007 after he fell asleep behind the wheel while stopped in traffic. La Ru sa, then managing the Cardinals, pleaded guilty and pledged that something like that would not happen again.

It did happen again 13 years later, and while backsliding or recidivism can't always be avoided, the 2020 arrest ought to have been disqualifying for team chairman Jerry Reinsdorf, who 35 years after former general manager Ken Harrelson fired him. Reinsdorf has long felt regret while watchingLa Ru sa builda Hall of Fame resume with the A's and Cardinals.

Reinsdorfcould have quietly let the front office choose another candidate, its own candidate. That would have saved the franchisethe PR me s it's about to enter.

Instead, Reinsdorf stubbornly held out for La Ru sa, who announced his retirement from managing in 2011 after leading the Cardinals to the World Series title that October. Thenine-year period out of the dugout, his age and his reputationreportedly arered flags for some Sox players. They can rightly ask: Has the Jacob Eason Jerseys game pa sed him by even though he has stayed in it as an executive? Is he capable of lightening up, or will he still be a dour baseball lifer who lives by The Code and discourages individual expre sion?

Now those players can also question La Ru sa's judgment, even if he avoids legal penalties.

The White Sox could have undone an unpopular move after Monday's news. Instead, they've reportedly dug in and appear to be unconcernedabout player buy-in. Loyalty is great, second (and third) chances are great, but doing what's best for the organization is more important. Sticking Jordyn Brooks Jerseys with La Ru sa isn't what's best.
