LAS VEGAS — Rick Hahn saw a common reaction in regard to new Chicago White Sox manager Pedro Grifol while walking around the GM meetings this week at Conrad Las Vegas at Resorts World.
“I’ve heard from more people who had no dog in the fight coming up to me about what a great hire he was and how happy they are for him,” the Sox general manager said Tuesday. “Former players who are here and a couple of agents had said something about how their players had mentioned him, a few people in the Commissioner’s office.
“It’s nothing we’re seeking out at this point, but just across the board I think there’s happiness for him and people rooting for his success.”
