CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago White Sox let go of pitching coach Ethan Katz and hitting coach Marcus Thames on Monday, opting not to renew their contracts in a major shake-up to manager Will Venable’s staff.
The team also announced it will not renew the contracts of first base and outfield coach Jason Bourgeois and catching coach Drew Butera. The White Sox said offensive coordinator Grady Sizemore, who served as interim manager for the final 45 games in 2024 after Pedro Grifol was fired, will be offered a role in the organization.
