White Sox Refute Former Reliever's Claims of Lax Clubhouse Culture

Former White Sox reliever Keynan Middleton claimed the team had a "no rules" culture where players could sleep during games and miss meetings without consequences.
White Sox management acknowledged internal issues but denied Middleton's specific claims, saying no player slept in the bullpen during games.
GM Rick Hahn said the team is focused on building a winning culture while Middleton stands by his original comments.
Manager Pedro Grifol was hired to replace Tony La Russa and address clubhouse culture issues that have contributed to poor team performance.
The White Sox have faced criticism for limited success and reluctance to make meaningful changes despite high expectations.
