Jake Mintz made a bold promise last fall that the White Sox would never hire Tony La Russa. It wouldn’t make any sense for the young, hip White Sox to hire an old, crusty manager in La Russa. Mintz noted that if the Sox did indeed make this move, that he would walk from New York to Chicago. Well:

“Biking across the country because you said something stupid on a podcast is frankly a stupid thing to do,” Mintz said. “But it feels very fulfilling. I have no regrets.”
