As MLB teams begin to fill their coaching staffs for the 2026 season, the picture for the White Sox has become a bit more blurry. White Sox coach Grady Sizemore has been with the team for two years, and all indications were he’d be returning for a third season. The team announced the departure of pitching coach Ethan Katz and hitting coach Marcus Thames, but indicated that Sizemore would be offered a role within the organization. Thames has since taken a job with the division-rival Royals, and in a surprising twist, Sizemore will also be departing to take a job with an AL Central foe.
