White Sox fire manager Pedro Grifol after AL record-tying skid

[diwataaa]

The  Chicago White Sox, who tied an American League record this month with a 21-game losing streak, fired manager Pedro Grifol on Thursday. The White Sox did not name an interim replacement for Grifol, but announced that their next full-time manager is "expected to be announced after the conclusion of the 2024 season." The White Sox entered Thursday with the worst record in the majors at 28-89 and are two days removed from snapping Major League Baseball's longest losing streak since 1988, when the Baltimore Orioles also lost 21 in a row. The White Sox ended the losing streak with a 5-1 victory against the Athletics in Oakland on Tuesday night, then squandered a two-run lead in Wednesday's 3-2 loss. Grifol, 54, was hired in November 2022 after Tony La Russa stepped down for health reasons.

Wow, what a rough stretch for the White Sox! With the firing of Pedro Grifol and that record-breaking 21-game losing streak, it’s definitely been a challenging season. Hopefully, the team will find some stability with a new manager next season. At least they broke that losing streak with a win!
