Who Is ‘White Sox’ New Manager Pedro Grifol Wife Ali Grifol? Children And Salary

Pedro Grifol has been married to his wife, Alejandra Grifol, for a long time.

He and his wife are parents to three kids, Lauren, Camila, and Amanda.

He is 52 years old, and his wife Ali is around the same age as him, so there isn’t a huge age gap between them.

Grifo’s wife supported him during his time as a baseball coach, and he recently finished his tenth season as a member of the Royals coaching staff.

Grifol expressed his gratitude to his wife Alejandra and his three girls for encouraging him to pursue his managerial dream even though doing so would result in a more modest lifestyle and more time away from his family.

Baseball has been a part of Grifol’s life since he was four years old, but he and his wife have been firmly catholic for a very long time and have been following that religion from their heart.

He has been the team’s bench coach for the last three years; before that, he worked for K.C. as their quality control coach, catching coach, hitting coach, and special assignment coach. He was a candidate to take over as the Royals’ next manager, but the organization ultimately chose to hire Rays bench coach Matt Quatraro.

Grifol spent nine seasons in the minor league, making it to Triple-A. He was born and raised in Miami and played college baseball at Florida State University.

Pedro Grifol has a net worth of $1.5 million from his baseball coaching career. 

His salary is expected to be $57,165 annually if he is signed as a ‘White Sox’ manager.

He recently had a multi-year contract as the 42nd different manager in Sox history, officially announced at the Guaranteed Rate Field Conference and Learning Center, which adds a lot of value to his net worth.

In the sixth round of the 1991 Major League Baseball draft, the Minnesota Twins chose Grifol. From 1991 to 1999, he participated in minor league baseball with the Twins and New York Mets organizations. He was the director of minor league operations for the Seattle Mariners.

He spent 12 years in the Seattle Mariners system prior to his tenure in Kansas City. He was once the Director of Minor League operations and managed their Double-A affiliate in the minor leagues.

Grifol is taking over for Tony La Russa, who returned to lead the Red Sox for the 2021 season at Jerry Reinsdorf’s request and led the team to the postseason.

Laurence, Amanda, and Camila are the three daughters of Pedro Grifol and his wife, Alejandra Grifol. They live in Miami, Florida.

During the early years of his coaching career, the family of five led a relatively middle-class lifestyle, but thanks to his income, he can now give his wife and kids a comfortable and happy existence.

Grifol attended Christopher Columbus High School in Miami, Florida, where he played baseball and met his wife, Ali, for the first time. In 1988, he was named Florida’s top high school baseball player.

He played college baseball for the Florida State Seminoles baseball team while attending Florida State University. Grifol participated in the 1989 and 1991 College World Series with the Seminoles.

In 1991, he received the All-American honor. He participated in the Cape Cod Baseball League’s Brewster caps’ collegiate summer baseball program in 1990 and 1991. In 1990, the league awarded him an all-star.
