Chicago, IL – The Chicago White Sox announced today that Pedro Grifol has been dismissed as the club’s manager. The decision follows a challenging season that saw the team struggle on multiple fronts. 

“As we all recognize, our team’s performance this season has been disappointing on many levels,” said Chris Getz, White Sox senior vice president/general manager. “Despite the on-field struggles and lack of success, we appreciate the effort and professionalism Pedro and the staff brought to the ballpark every day. These two seasons have been very challenging. Unfortunately, the results were not there, and a change is necessary as we look to our future and the development of a new energy around the team.”

Grifol, who was hired on November 3, 2022, led the White Sox to an 89-190 record over one-plus seasons at the helm, including a 28-89 record in 2024. Despite the team’s efforts, the lack of improvement necessitated a change in leadership.

The White Sox will begin a search for a new manager immediately, with a replacement expected to be announced after the conclusion of the 2024 season.
