 Former Angels manager Phil Nevin is joining the Chicago White Sox in a new role as a special assistant in their player development department. Nevin, who was one of the finalists for the White Sox managerial position this offseason, will be working under White Sox general manager Chris Getz. Nevin's new position was first reported by Bob Nightengale of USA Today.
Phil Nevin, 53, brings extensive experience to his new role, having played 12 seasons in the MLB from 1995 to 2006, with teams like the Astros, Tigers, Angels, Padres, Rangers, Cubs, and Twins. After his playing career, Nevin transitioned into coaching, managing in the minor leagues for the Tigers and Diamondbacks before landing his first MLB coaching job with the San Francisco Giants in 2017. He later coached third base for the Yankees from 2018 to 2021. Nevin began the 2022 season as the Angels' third base coach, stepping up to interim manager and later head manager in 2023. After a challenging season, the Angels decided not to renew his contract for 2024. In his new role with the White Sox, Nevin will focus on various player development tasks, including amateur scouting for the 2025 MLB Draft. His wealth of experience and knowledge is expected to significantly contribute to the development of the White Sox's up-and-coming talent.
