It seemed inevitable that Chicago White Sox manager Pedro Grifol would be fired during the team's dismal 2024 season, and it happened on Thursday.
Chicago announced Grifol's firing after a 28-89 start to this season, his second as manager of the club.
The move comes two days after the White Sox snapped a 21-game losing streak with a 5-1 win over the Oakland Athletics. The streak was tied with the 1988 Baltimore Orioles for the longest in AL history.
Chicago's winning ways didn't last long, as it lost the series finale 3-2 to the A's on Wednesday.
