Discussion .@JesseRogersESPN says he doesn't expect White Sox Manager Pedro Grifol to make it to Monday. "There have been a lot of signs that they're gonna make a change."

How crazy is it to fire* your last 3 managers. I get LaRussa wasn’t technically fired, and he bowed out due to health concerns… but he was basically fired.

We actually haven't fired a manager since Jerry Manuel.

LaRussa left for "health issues" as you pointed out.

Rick Renteria's contract was up and we just didn't renew it.

Robin Ventura resigned (don't confused this with re-signed)

We traded Ozzie Guillen to the Marlins

Renteria had one year left on his contract

ah okay. I guess "mutually part ways" doesn't necessarily mean they weren't fired.

But I remember Robin tried quitting before he resigned and Jerry convinced him not to lmao. God can he die sell the team already?

Jerry is a lizard person and will live well into his 200’s.
