The Chicago White Sox are cleaning house amid a disaster of a season and a botched rebuild in general.
The team announced Tuesday that executive vice president Ken Williams and general manager Rick Hahn have both been relieved of their duties, with the goal of finding a single decision-maker to lead the front office by the end of this season.
Bob Nightengale of USA Today reported that first-year manager Pedro Grifol is safe for now and expected to return for 2024.
The move ends two of the longest tenures among MLB front-office executives, as Williams joined the White Sox in 1992 as a scout, ascended to general manager in 2000 and became executive vice president in 2012. Hahn, a Chicago-area native, joined the White Sox in 2002 and was promoted to GM in 2012. Both have a World Series ring from Chicago's championship in 2005.
