Roster decisions loom as the Chicago White Sox choose between ‘a lot of guys that do a lot of really good things’

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:31:03 GMT

When constructing a bench, Chicago White Sox manager Pedro Grifol keeps in mind a conversation he had in Kansas City, Mo., while the Royals coaching staff constructed their playoff roster.“We’d go back and forth and we’d go through everything, and finally somebody said, ‘Look, there’s no perfect team,’ ” Grifol said Saturday morning.Grifol spent the previous 10 seasons on the Royals staff — they reached the World Series in 2014 and won it the next season — before the Sox hired him in November.“We’ve just got to pick the guys we think are going to mesh together and give us the most versatility and coverage in things we think are important,” Grifol said. “But to try to cover everything is almost impossible.”That type of conversation is where the Sox find themselves as the final day of camp nears and with Thursday’s season opener against the Astros in Houston on the horizon.

PHOENIX — Bill Belichick, who hasn’t fielded questions from the media since his season-ending presser in January, will be on the hot seat early Monday morning with the AFC coaches breakfast on tap at the Arizona Biltmore.As always, there will be plenty to ask the Patriots head coach at this annual gathering during the league meetings. A lot has happened in the two months since the Patriots season ended with an 8-9 record and third place finish in the AFC East.For starters, Belichick hired Bill O’Brien to be his offensive coordinator, and Adrian Klemm to coach the offensive line, presumably to clean up the mess left from last season.So Matt Patricia was canned as the play caller and offensive line coach, and no longer appears to be with the team. However, Joe Judge, last year’s quarterbacks coach, remains as an assistant head coach.Belichick has also made some moves in free agency, most notably adding JuJu Smith-Schuster, Mike Gesicki and James Robinson on the offensive side of the b...
