White Sox general manager Kenny Williams is expected to "move up in the front office" and give the GM job to assistant Rick Hahn.

It's not clear what Williams' new job would be, but it likely would be a similar setup that the Cubs have with Jed Hoyer and Theo Epstein, who is the Cubs' president of baseball operations. Hahn has been a candidate for multiple GM jobs over the years and will finally get a shot without having to change organizations. He's been with the White Sox for 12 years.

He had problems sleeping the first night and even going from there he's going to have to start moving around and running again. There's going to be little steps he's going to have to take to get cleared. I don't think it's going to be as easy as picking seven days and thinking that's going to be it.''
