Chicago White Sox players considered not playing in Wednesday's spring training game in support of former teammate Adam LaRoche, sources told ESPN's Karl Ravech.
LaRoche abruptly retired Tuesday after team president Ken Williams told the slugger that he had to limit the time his 14-year-old son, Drake, spent with the team.
Sources told Ravech that White Sox manager Robin Ventura intervened and convinced the players, who were united in support of LaRoche, to take part in the game against the Brewers.
