Tony La Russa is expected to announce whether or not he’ll manager the Cardinals next season early this week, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. The belief is that he’ll decide to return for another year.
Contrary To What ESPN.com Says, La Russa Has Not Made Decision
La Russa insisted he has not yet discussed a contract with team chairman Bill DeWitt Jr.; however, sources familiar with the situation believe a formal announcement is likely early this week confirming La Russa’s return.
Said La Russa, scheduled to arrive in St. Louis in time to attend tonight’s Bruce Springsteen concert: “I’m coming to an understanding of what I’m doing and intend to get it settled one way or the other shortly.”
For whatever reason, ESPN.com is interpreting the exact same Post-Dispatch report to mean that La Russa definitely will return, using the headline “Report: La Russa will manage in 2010.” So, maybe ESPN knows something we don’t, or they’re just making up sexier headlines for fun. Because no where in the report does it say La Russa is returning.
