This article from the Athletic gives me some hope that La Russa really has come around on some of the social issues that the players care about:
For those without a subscription, well the first step would be to subscribe ($12/year - come on!). But if you still don't have access, Fegan talks with Bruce Maxwell (the first MLB player who took a knee during the anthem) and Reggie Sanders (his former player who now leads DEI efforts for the Royals). La Russa apparently reached out to both of them to get their perspective on these issues, and both had very positive things to say about his attitude.
Hopefully when the Sox players get in the clubhouse with him and meet him in person they similarly warm up to him.
