The White Sox are in a time of transition as an organization, and the sweeping changes made to the team’s coaching staff just further pushed this narrative. Perhaps the most surprising of the coaching changes was the team’s decision to move on from pitching coach Ethan Katz, who seemed to align with pitching director Brian Bannister’s philosophy and vision. As expected, Katz didn’t remain unemployed long, Reports have surfaced this week that he’s been hired by the Houston Astros as an assistant pitching coach.
