MLB Manager Tracker: Chicago White Sox Introduce Pedro Grifol
In this story:
The 2022 Major League Baseball regular season is complete. As the postseason begins more managerial changes are likely to happen.
The Kansas City Royals made the final move of the managerial carousel by making their hiring of Pedro Grifol official on Nov. 4. Grifol was formerly part of the Kansas City Royals coaching staff, including its 2015 World Series winning staff.
On Oct. 21, the Texas Rangers announced that they had hired three-time World Series championship manager Bruce Bochy as the replacement for Chris Woodward, who was hired in August. Tony Beasley was the interim manager for the final two months of the season.
The other new manager this cycle is Skip Schumaker, who was hired by the Miami Marlins last week.
Three teams turned their interim managers permanent for 2023 — Rob Thomson of the Philadelphia Phillies, Phil Nevin of the Los Angeles Angels and John Schneider of the Toronto Blue Jays.
