New Chicago White Sox general manager Chris Getz and first-year manager Pedro Grifol are tasked with fixing a sinking ship on the South Side.
Chicago White Sox fans display a banner criticizing team owner Jerry Reinsdorf in the ninth inning against the Detroit Tigers at Guaranteed Rate Field on Sept. 1, 2023, in Chicago.
“I have a hard time watching these games,” Reinsdorf said Thursday. “There are some nights when I don’t even watch the game. I record, and then if I win I watch it.”As marketing campaigns go, “Tape the Sox game and don’t watch it if they lose” probably won’t win any awards. But at least Reinsdorf understands the gargantuan challenge the Sox face in convincing fans it’s OK to support their favorite team.
“I didn’t just learn that ,” Grifol said before a 4-2 loss, dropping them 29 games under .500. “We had some conversations prior to . Not in complete detail, but I never once felt like my job was in jeopardy. Obviously he made it known to the public yesterday, but in all my conversations with him, and even with and Jerry prior to them being dismissed, I never felt that way.”
One of the keys to getting the Sox to where they want to go will be staying healthy and reporting to camp physically and mentally prepared. Reinsdorf said everyone will go home with an offseason plan tailored to them.
