Overview
- Bove, 37, joins after three seasons as a Royals assistant pitching coach, a span that included Kansas City finishing sixth in MLB with a 3.73 ERA in 2025 and allowing the eighth-fewest home runs.
- Wise returns for a third season overseeing a White Sox bullpen that logged a franchise-record 657 1/3 innings in 2025 and ranked fourth in MLB with 645 strikeouts.
- Rookie reliever Mike Vasil led all MLB relievers with 90 innings in 2025 and became the first White Sox rookie to top the majors in that category, while leading MLB rookies in ERA at 2.50 (minimum 100 IP).
- Bove’s résumé includes four seasons in the Twins’ development system and seven years at the College of Central Florida, along with a master’s in positive coaching and athletic leadership from Missouri.
- Separately, MLB Trade Rumors reports Derek Shomon will be the White Sox hitting coach, though the club has only announced Bove’s hire.
