White Sox announce firing of manager Pedro Grifol during awful season, Grady Sizemore named interim

Amidst the worst season in franchise history and one of the worst seasons in MLB history, the Chicago White Sox have fired manager Pedro Grifol after less than two seasons at the helm.

The club announced Grifol’s dismissal Thursday morning during an off-day, a day after a loss to the Oakland Athletics dropped the White Sox to 28-89, by far the worst record in the majors. Chicago snapped an American League record-tying 21-game losing streak on Tuesday night and had previously lost 14 games in a row this season.

WGN’s Chris Boden delivers the story.
