Report: Former Astros Manager AJ Hinch a 'Strong Candidate' for White Sox Job

Former manager is reportedly considered a "strong candidate" to become the next manager of the Chicago White Sox, according to Bob Nightengale of USA Today.

Hinch and former Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora are considered "obvious candidates," per Buster Olney of ESPN.

Rick Renteria had served as the White Sox manager for the past four seasons, leading the team to the playoffs in 2020, but the organization announced Monday that the two sides will part ways.

Hinch could be a top managerial candidate for any opening this offseason after serving his yearlong suspension for his role in the Astros' sign-stealing scandal.
