The White Sox announced that manager today Will be venousThis winter’s coaching staff will be overhauled. In particular, the club announced that they will not renew the contracts of Pitching coach Ethan Katz. Marcus Thamesfirst base coach Jason Bourgeoisand catch coach Drew Butera. James Fegan from Sox Machine that adds Sergio SantosWho manages the Triple-A branch of the club in Charlotte will also not renew his contract. Chicago’s announcement also notes that attacking coordinator (and former interim manager) Grady Sizemore However, a role will be offered within the organization before 2026, although Bob Nightengale of the US today Clarifies that he will be again assigned if he decides to stay with the team.
The news eliminates almost completely holdovers of the coaching staff of former Pedro Grifol manager, who led the White Sox to a season that saw them post with the most losses in modern MLB history. Bench -Coach Walkinven and assistant who struck Joel McKeith’s, were both hired by Venable last winter. The third base/Infield Coach Justin Jirschelele was adopted shortly after Grifol was fired in August 2024, which means that the only remaining member of Grifol’s Staf left the organization or would be re-assigned to a non-coaching role to be assistant-Pitching-coach Matt Wise.
Although almost every team would look good in addition to the White SOX 2024, the ITERATION of the Club 2025 was still one of the worst teams in baseball. Their 60-102 record gave them the second worst record in the sport, behind only the disastrous 119-loss season of Rockies. Although there were some positive signs, such as strong impressions of rookies Kyle Teel And Colson Montgomery As well as the rise of rule 5 pick Shane SmithIt is impossible to deny that this year there was more bad than good for Chicago. Outside Teel and Montgomery was their best batter 34-year-old Mike Tauchmanwho was non-sorted in the last season and will be a free agent after the 2026 campaign. Andrew Benintendi Perhaps we have returned to the average offensive production of the League this year, but that will probably not help them to erase the $ 32.2 mm about his contract of their books.
With young players who come from the minors to take important roles in the team and a .333 profit percentage in the past three seasons, it is understandable that White Sox Brass is time for a change on a larger scale. This applies in particular to Venable, who will be able to choose the replacements for these coaches who had been in the organization before his arrival. A new coaching staff for 2026 should offer both Venable and the Club as a whole a new start on the way to 2026, which will be the first full season, spend both Montgomery and Teel in the Majors, as well as a chance for colleagues youngsters such as Chase Meiithoth And Edgar I want To take a step forward after they have become wet this year in the large competitions.
