Despite a 19-game improvement during the 2025 season under first-year manager Will Venable and positivity radiating through the organization, the Chicago White Sox are making some surprising changes to their Major League coaching staff.
The team announced via press release on Monday that four notable coaches from Venable's staff would not be back with the team in 2026.
Among them were pitching coach Ethan Katz, hitting coach Marcus Thames, first base and outfield coach Jason Bourgeois, and catching coach Drew Butera.
Triple-A manager Sergio Santos will not have his contract renewed, either.
