On Tuesday afternoon White Sox 1B/DH Adam LaRoche abruptly retired from baseball with little
reasoning behind the announcement other than citing family issues.
We now have a reason for that decision, thanks to Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports.
According to Rosenthal, LaRoche was basically told by White Sox President of Baseball Operations Kenny Williams that he would have to scale back bringing his son Drake LaRoche around the clubhouse in 2016.
There has been no policy change with the regards to allowance of kids in the clubhouse, on the field, the back fields during spring training.
