White Sox GM Chris Getz passes on an opportunity to endorse manager Pedro Grifol’s performance

Associated Press  

CHICAGO — With the White Sox on pace for another 100-loss season, general manager Chris Getz passed on an opportunity to provide a vote of confidence for manager Pedro Grifol on Tuesday. “I think the team as a whole, although the record is not very good, I think the intent and the energy, playing for the White Sox and for each other, I sense a lot of positives in that,” Getz said before Tuesday night’s win against Houston. “Having such a valuable player like Dylan in my first offseason as a general manager has allowed me to build relationships with other general managers and get to know other organizations.” While Getz ponders his trade options, designated hitter Eloy Jiménez is nearing a return after being sidelined by a strained left hamstring. “Those two players are certainly big pieces of this organization, our major league club, and it does look like Eloy is not too far off,” Getz said.
