The Chicago White Sox let bench coach Tim Raines go Friday, opting not to renew his contract.
Hired in November 2004, Raines served as first base coach when the White Sox won the World Series in 2005 before moving to the bench this season.
A seven-time all-star, Raines batted .294 and stole 808 bases in a 23-year career that began with the Montreal Expos in 1980 and included stints with the White Sox, New York Yankees, Oakland Athletics, Baltimore Orioles and Florida Marlins.
