White Sox: 3 new managers to hire when the World Series is over

The Chicago White Sox really could use a new manager. They are going to get one as they are separated from Tony La Russa. He was brutal in 2022 and it was time to move on in June but they never made the move.

As a result, they became the most disappointing team in the league at 81-81 which put them in second place in the American League Central Division.

Last week, we talked about the three most likely people to be the manager of this team. Well, that could still be the case but there are some other names that have come out.

In addition to those three, these guys are people for the White Sox to consider hiring when the World Series is over:

1. Ron Washington

The Chicago White Sox might look to the NL East for a potential manager hire.

Ron Washington has been a very successful manager in the game of baseball. He led the Texas Rangers through some deep playoff runs that included a couple of appearances in the World Series but they were never able to win the final game of the season.

However, he was a coach with the 2021 World Series champion Atlanta Braves. It was an outstanding run for that team as they finally reached their potential with the talent that they have.

If the White Sox are looking for a veteran manager to come to coach their team, Washington might be someone that they consider. It might not be the likeliest option out there but he is someone that is experienced and might have something that he can bring to this White Sox team.

3. Matt Quantraro

Matt Quantraro is someone that the Chicago White Sox can hire as a manager.

The Chicago White Sox have claimed since the end of the season that their new manager is going to be someone that comes from a winning organization and doesn’t need to have ties with the team in some way. Whether they actually live up to that remains to be seen.

Someone that does fit that model is Matt Quantraro of the Tampa Bay Rays. He used to be their third base coach and now he is their bench coach. You’d think that the Rays’ bench coach is someone that would make a good manager after thinking about their recent history.

For a long time now, the Rays have been one of the most well-run and most successful teams in the league. They have had a spot in the Major League Baseball postseason for a few years in a row now. Good scouting, smart spending, and amazing player development have really helped.

If Matt Quantraro brought some of that to the White Sox, they might be able to push themselves forward as an organization instead of sticking to the old ideals that haven’t been working for a while.

No matter what, we just want to see the White Sox make a good hire here. If it is someone on this list or the one from last week, we will root for them. If it isn’t, we will still have to hope that the team knows what they are getting in the new hire.
