I have nothing but the greatest respect for them as people and appreciate the commitment and passion for the White Sox they exhibited over the years.”
Reinsdorf continued on in his assertion to level out that the well-worn cliché {of professional} sports being results-oriented is right.
“While we have enjoyed successes as an organization and were optimistic heading into the competitive window of this rebuild, this year has proven to be very disappointing for us all on many levels,” Reinsdorf stated. “This has led me to the conclusion that the perfect resolution for the group shifting ahead is to make a change in our baseball division management.”
“We have underachieved,” Williams wrote. “This is what occurs.”
“It really stinks,” White Sox first baseman Andrew Vaughn stated. “Two great men. It stinks.”
“At the end of the day, we didn’t do our job on the field,” White Sox reliever Aaron Bummer stated. “But forever grateful for those two men.”

He joined the group in October 2000 and helped construct the 2005 World Series champions and 2008 division champions as assistant basic supervisor (2000-12) earlier than being promoted to basic supervisor in October 2012.
The White Sox will start a seek for a single decision-maker to steer the baseball operations division and anticipate having a person in place by the top of the season. It was Hahn and Williams who introduced in supervisor Pedro Grifol after an in depth spherical of interviews, leaving Grifol emotional in addition to shocked.
“My first interview was with Rick and a couple of other guys and my second was with Kenny and I would have never got past the first one if it wasn’t Rick and I never would have got past the second one if it wasn’t Kenny,” Grifol stated. “I owe every little thing to them.
“They believed in me and now I had to watch them walk out the building. That really hurt me. You go out there every day to give it your very best. And it just wasn’t good enough.”
Despite having two years left on his deal, might Grifol even be achieved after this season? He was sincere postgame in admitting to enthusiastic about the state of affairs.
“Obviously I’m not going to sit here and lie and tell you that I don’t think about it, but I’m not going to get caught up in it,” Grifol stated. “Why? Because I’ve a accountability to these guys in there.
