Get your bet slips in, everybody because odds are coming in on who will be the next manager in the dugout on the South Side.
The site Sports Betting (SportsBetting.ag) released their latest odds for who would be the next White Sox manager, and atop the list was former Giants and Padres manager Bruce Bochy. The full list can be seen in the tweet below, but others featured near the top were Sandy Alomar Jr, Carlos Beltran, Matt Quatraro, Fredi Gonzalez, and Joe Espada.
Also making appearances near the bottom were Jim Thome, Chris Getz, and Ozzie Guillen.
Of all the names on this list, none has more managerial experience and success than Bochy. A three-time World Series Champion manager, Bochy spent his career with the Padres (1995-2006) and Giants (2007-2019) before calling it quits in 2019. He has a career record of 2,003-2,029, including a 44-33 record in the postseason. He would bring experience to the dugout, but previous heart concerns and time spent away from the game would be natural concerns for fans.
While these odds are based on pure speculation, they’re worth watching as more rumors circulate and interviews are conducted. Often times, the betting markets begin to move as more information is known – whether or not it is widely available information.
As more information becomes available, we will continue to provide updates. In the meantime, you can get familiar with many of the names on the betting list via our manager articles below.
