From Grifol's perspective, his hiring was a product of the White Sox' front office led by Hahn and Williams. Hence, his status is rightfully questionable, considering the leaders who hired him were relieved of their duties on Tuesday.
The White Sox hired Grifol before the start of this season. Before assuming the manager role, Grifol was the bench coach for the Kansas City Royals and was highly regarded as a "next up" candidate to assume a role as a skipper.

Grifol's managerial record, so far, is 49-76 based on the team's performance this season. They currently hold the fourth-place spot in the AL Central, 16 games back from the lead.
When talking about the team's current process -- before the team announced Hahn and Williams' firing -- Grifol spoke about the organization going through evaluations on Tuesday.
"Everybody's getting evaluated," Grifol said before Tuesday's game against the Mariners. "One hundred percent I look at myself. But I've done that since the very beginning. I ask people around me and I'm not afraid to listen to people telling me 'You could have thought about this another way.' I'm not afraid of being evaluated and people sharing with me different ways of doing this."
