The Chicago White Sox announced that they will retire the number 13 jersey to honor former manager and shortstop Ozzie Guillén. The ceremony is set to take place at a future date, which has not yet been specified.
Guillén, a prominent figure in White Sox history, played for the team as a shortstop from 1998 to 2004.
