SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — The White Sox are rounding out their coaching staff for the 2024 season.

Marcus Thames is the latest new addition, with his hire as hitting coach expected to be announced soon, a source confirmed. This will be Thames’ fourth team in the last four season as hitting coach.

A left fielder and designated hitter with four teams from 2002-11, Thames was hitting coach for the Angels in 2023, the Marlins in 2022 and Yankees from 2018-21.

Thames will replace Jose Castro, who served one year on White Sox staff before being fired at end of season.

The Sox removed assistant hitting coach Chris Johnson from the staff after one season as well and offered him a job in the farm system. Johnson might catch on with another organization, however.
