Source?  It’s hard to believe this could possibly be true, between cheap Jerry and Grifol being a new manager with no previous managerial experience.

I think I had seen somewhere that the number was more like around a million per year for each of the 3 years of his contract.

Must be all of those endorsement deals.

Pedro is making 5.5 mil this year. He is one of the highest paid coaches in the league.

 

No way is this possible. ?

I was looking around for coaches salaries and these two were some of the few that listed them. I couldn’t believe it. Not sure if they are credible or not.

The USA Today said the highest paid in the game is Melvin at 4 million. (Pre the Counsel deal) It also didn't list him in the 3 million crowd.

I have to question the credibility of the first link when they say this.  Contract extension in 2020?

Quote

Coming in second is Pedro Grifol, who earns a reported $5.5 million to manage the White Sox. 

Grifol’s salary had been $3.75 million in 2023. He’ll make $5.5 million this year as part of his contract extension signed in 2020.

I bet they are listing TLR's salary not Grifol's.

That was my first thought.  The only guy Jerry would pay that much, his buddy.

Grifol on the first half “holy s%*# the season STARTED!?!?”

But he had to have known… he did spend the entirety of Spring Training getting the boys prepared to “kick ass” ?

Maybe he isn’t a great communicator and all the players interpreted his convictions as, “get our asses kicked.”

Also this was on a different Sox site "Nightengale stories are the only way we learn the terms of a White Sox manager’s employment. The last time around, he divulged that the White Sox were paying Tony La Russa $4 million a year, while it looks like Grifol is making less than Rick Renteria did". The same article also said "Grifol is in the second year of a three-year contract for about $3 million." 

As Renteria was supposedly on $1.2 a season it looks like Grifol is om about $1 million a season.
