White Sox Expected To Hire Carlos Rodriguez As Assistant GM

"The White Sox are finalizing an agreement with Carlos Rodriguez to become an assistant general manager, reports James Fegan of Sox Machine. The team has yet to officially announce the news. Rodriguez will join the Chicago organization after a 15-year run with the Rays. He had come up through Tampa Bay's international scouting ranks and eventually took the reins in that department."

"Rodriguez earned the AGM title over the 2021-22 offseason and had taken on a broader front office role over the past few years. He stepped down at the end of the '25 campaign to pursue other opportunities. The Rays promoted vice president of baseball process/strategy Hamilton Marx to fill the assistant GM vacancy. Marx will assume many of the international scouting responsibilities that Rodriguez had previously handled."

"Rodriguez will join the Chicago organization after a 15-year run with the Rays. He had come up through Tampa Bay's international scouting ranks and eventually took the reins in that department. Fegan writes that Rodriguez is expected to have wide-ranging responsibilities. He'll no doubt play a role in international operations but will also factor into the team's decision-making on the MLB side. He'll join Josh Barfield and Jin Wong as assistant general managers under front office leader Chris Getz."
