Chicago White Sox General Managers

Baseball Almanac is pleased to present a chronological list of persons who have served as General Manager for the Chicago White Sox franchise.

"Obviously, we're trying to get the best, most impactable players to help the situation as much as possible. I tell you guys right now it's a very, very difficult market because everything we've discussed up to this point has too much from our major-league team in it. These guys are good enough to this point that we would be giving up too much in return for what we could possibly get." - Chicago White Sox General Manager Ken Williams in the Chicago Sun-Times (07/30/2005, Doug Padilla)
