It should be noted that the rebuild the White Sox embarked on in 2016 worked at first, writes jon_greenberg. Then what happened? The White Sox happened. And out emerged an ugly mess of recriminations, gossip and losing. Again.
Regardless of how accurate Middleton was, reports of the Sox’s major issues were “old news” anyway, Hahn said. He knows the team is messed up and he’s already addressed it.
It should be noted that the rebuild the Sox embarked on in 2016 worked at first. Hahn acquired prospects. The team paid veterans to supplement them. They even made the playoffs in back-to-back seasons for the first time in franchise history in 2020 and 2021. They only won two playoff games, but still. Good vibes were in abundance and no one was leaking stories about relievers sleeping or guys missing fielding practice. Winning cures all.
If I were him, I’d fire myself and go work in private equity like Theo Epstein. That seems like a more enjoyable life. But maybe Hahn is a glutton for punishment.As for Grifol, he looks and sounds like a one-and-done manager, a baseball lifer best suited to a secondary role. The former bench coach of thetook over a Sox team that looked lackadaisical last year under an ailing Tony La Russa and finished 81-81.
“We’re moving forward with a new laid foundation on rock, not on muck, on rock, that is going to sustain any little problem that we may have moving forward,” Grifol said. “So culture is a big deal to me. I think it’s the most important part of a winning franchise, and we’re determined to build it and build it the right way.”
