Column: Jose Abreu says he has Tony La Russa’s back, but will that matter to angry Chicago White Sox fans?

After an inauspicious start to their offseason, the Chicago White Sox enjoyed a very good day Thursday.

The Sox reportedly agreed to terms with a new pitching coach in Ethan Katz, the former high school coach of Lucas Giolito who fixed the right-hander’s mechanics and helped turn him into one of the league’s top starters.

And the Sox also found a new radio home in WMVP-AM 1000, ending their brief run on WGN-AM 720 and theoretically giving them more exposure with a sports-talk outlet as their flagship station.

It was the kind of day the Sox probably wish they could’ve bottled, if not for one notable hiccup — the team’s statement regarding manager Tony La Russa’s DUI arrest.
