Washington has held the position of the Braves third base coach since 2016 and was part of the 2021 World Series team.
Before his current post, he was the manager for the Texas Rangers between 2007-14. He brought the team to two World Series, never having won a ring. In 2014, Washington announced his resignation from the team after admittedly cheating on his wife.
Along with Washington, the White Sox are reportedly interviewing Houston Astros bench coach, Joe Espada, and Kansas City Royals bench coach, Pedro Grifol. Additionally, Rick Hahn announced the team would grant their bench coach, Miguel Cairo, an interview for the position.
“A brilliant, brilliant coach. Third base coach with Atlanta. He is such a great motivator, particularly with the infielders,” Nightengale said about Washington during NBC’s Sports Sunday.
