Pedro Grifol was among the first names to surface in reports when the Chicago White Sox began looking for their next manager.
Grifol’s résumé includes spending the last three seasons as the bench coach for the Kansas City Royals. He will remain in the division, looking to get the Sox back to the top of the American League Central after they stumbled to second place and an 81-81 record this season.When the Sox started the process of finding their next skipper, general manager Rick Hahn noted: “We are eager to use this opportunity to get some outside perspectives on this club and ways we can get better.
The Sox won nine of the 10 games against the Royals during the pandemic-shortened 2020 season, but the last two years have been a different story. And it wasn’t that the Royals were a juggernaut. They finished 74-88 that season, 19 games behind the Sox in the standings.
