As the Major League Baseball offseason gets underway for teams that either didn’t qualify for the postseason or have since been eliminated, a number of managerial openings are beginning to pile up.
Thus far, three vacancies have been created by the Boston Red Sox, Chicago White Sox and Detroit Tigers. The Red Sox parted with manager Ron Roenicke after the club posted one of the worst records in baseball at 24-36.
The White Sox, despite advancing to the postseason, made a change at manager by dismissing Rick Renteria, who had been at the helm since 2017.
The Tigers are also in search of a new manager after Ron Gardenhire announced his retirement at the end of the 2020 season.
