I think that he just needed a couple of more weeks to really turn this thing around!

Now we’ll never now.

Probably realistic to assume they will prefer to hire someone with either a direct past with the White Sox or a link to Getz or whomever has sway with Reinsdorf.

Take your pick: https://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/KCR/2011.shtml

My money’s on a guy like Matt Traenor or maybe a Kevin Seitzer.

You would think they wouldn't go back to KC after Grifol, but it can't be ruled out.

I would think it's AJ or the manager in Miami, but that's all just the most recent speculation.

AJ is recent. Guy in Miami isn't. AJ's going to want a lot of power, so no on him.

The Mad Dog went ballistic on Reinsdorf on his MLB Network show just now. Basically screaming about the White Sox winning one playoff series in 43 years of ownership, the contract of punch & judy hitter benintendi, and the giving Rod Thorn all the credit for the Bulls. Pretty funny and amusing rant calling out Jerry from the notorious loud mouth

No way they go back to Ozzie. AJ would be fun.

But they probably go with some minor league manager from the Royals.

Kudos to Bernsie for calling the new manager ten minutes before it was public. Great guess.

ESPN has never recognized the White Sox as a Chicago team, I remember when they asked Derek Jeter what it was like to play in Chicago back in 2003 when they first visited Wrigley Field to play the Cubs.

Maybe, but Mad Dog's on the radio in NY, and we know Jerry cares more bout NY than Chicago.

Wanting that dead cat bounce won't be "silly" if it means two wins over the Cubs.

Yeah getting to 30 wins by August 10 would be quite impressive

Very strange criteria - must be a current coach/manager (probably meant to eliminate local favorites), and not that I think Francona would want this job, but why close the door to a great manager because he didn't coach this year, especially if you're going to try and sell us on a manager in Miami whose team is in last place or some unknown bench coach as being the solution?
