White Sox great Jim Thome was too busy Saturday enjoying the accolades during a theme night in his honor to think long and hard about his future, but he did entertain the thought of becoming a major-league manager one day.
“Maybe soon, you never know,” Thome, 47, said. “I don’t want to ever say never, but I love where I’m at right now.”
Before their 3-1 loss to the Indians at Guaranteed Rate Field, the Sox honored Thome for his recent induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame.
