caulfield12 Posted November 25 Share Posted November 25 (edited) Former Royals/Twins coach. Just kidding. https://soxmachine.com/2025/11/white-sox-to-name-jose-leger-as-new-first-base-coach "The White Sox have yet to announce their full uniformed coaching staff for the 2026 season, but at least they've gotten to first base. Gigantes del Cibao of LIDOM (Dominican Winter League) announced on Monday that their manager, José Leger has been named the new White Sox first base coach." Cardinals' background, but originally signed as a NDFA by the Twins...lots of minor league managerial experience "Leger (leh-HAIR) enters his seventh season with the Cardinals and his fourth as a manager within the organization after helping lead Springfield to the 2023 North Division Second Half Championship and a return to the Texas League Playoffs last year. Named the Texas League's Best Manager Prospect by Baseball America in 2022, Leger has helped develop current St. Louis Cardinals and top prospects like Brendan Donovan, Jordan Walker, Nolan Gorman, Masyn Winn, Gordon Graceffo, Alec Burleson, Ivan Herrera and many more in just the last three years at Hammons Field. He previously served as the St. Louis Cardinals Latin American Field & Academy Development Coordinator (2018-20). Before joining the Cardinals organization, Leger spent eight seasons as a manager within the New York Mets organization (2010-17), where he held a managerial record of 389-368. He was named the 2015 South Atlantic League Manager of the Year after leading the Low-A Savannah Sand Gnats to a playoff berth, compiling an overall record of 84-53. Leger celebrated his milestone 500th win as a professional manager on September 15, 2022 when the Cardinals beat the Tulsa Drillers." https://www.milb.com/news/jose-leger-returns-as-springfield-s-skipper https://www.milb.com/springfield/news/jose-leger-returns-as-springfield-s-skipper&sa=U&ved=2ahUKEwiIv4eNzI2RAxXLBDQIHR_sMxQQFnoECAcQAg&usg=AOvVaw2fYFZwuc6j5jC-IfKV6DC9 This article is about his returning for 2024 season at Springfield.

WestEddy Posted November 25 Share Posted November 25 (edited) 12 minutes ago, nrockway said: Joking of course. More serious, Cannon for Walker. I think White Sox say no to that. Walker had a full year and did nothing with it. Cannon seems a return change to being the cromulent #5 he was in '24.

Change of scene for both guys. They are both terrible. Walker has been really bad but he’s at least two years younger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also Jo Adell had a quietly solid season...rewarding patience. He had the bat speed/swing metrics on his side. No guarantees with Walker, but the raw physical ability is there.

caulfield12 Posted November 26 Share Posted November 26 (edited) 2025 assignments Patrick Anderson will take the helm at Springfield (AA) after managing the three previous seasons in Peoria, replacing former skipper José Leger, who will now serve as Assistant Field & Baserunning Coordinator based in Jupiter, Florida. JJ Wetherholt was the stud prospect in AA this year fwiw. Edited November 26 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boopa1219 Posted November 26 Share Posted November 26 I know nothing about the guy but because he had a background in player development, I’m going to say this is a good hire. I think teams forget that player development is something that happens throughout the entirety of a player’s career, so I would want as many player development guys on my staff as possible. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
