White Sox Fire Longtime Executives Ken Williams and Rick Hahn After Disappointing Season

White Sox fired executive vice president Ken Williams and general manager Rick Hahn after a 49-76 start to the 2023 season.
Williams and Hahn had been with the organization since 2000 and 2002 respectively and led the team to a World Series win in 2005.
The White Sox are seeking new leadership for their baseball operations department with the goal of having someone in place by the end of the season.
There have been concerns raised about the team's culture and lack of success since their last playoff win in 2005.
White Sox chairman Jerry Reinsdorf acknowledged the difficulty in firing the two longtime executives but felt change was needed.
