White Sox chairman declares LaRoche saga over

Chicago White Sox chairman Jerry Reinsdorf says he has met with Adam LaRoche and the team and is declaring the saga over.

LaRoche abruptly retired Tuesday after he was told by executive vice president Kenny Williams that his son wasn't allowed to be in the clubhouse.

In a statement Friday, LaRoche said that before he signed his two-year, $25 million contract with the White Sox last year, "my first question to the club concerned my [son Drake's] ability to be a part of the team. After some due diligence on the club's part, we reached an agreement" and there were no problems with his son's presence in the clubhouse in 2015.
