Jenks, a two-time All-Star, enjoyed six successful seasons with the White Sox before concluding his career with a brief stint at the Boston Red Sox in 2011, hampered by injuries. His passing marks a significant loss for baseball fans and the White Sox organization.
Jenks had moved to Portugal in the previous year and had been undergoing treatment for adenocarcinoma. In a heartfelt statement, White Sox chairman Jerry Reinsdorf paid tribute, stating, "We have lost an iconic member of the White Sox family. None of us will ever forget all that Bobby did for the 2005 World Series champions and for the entire Sox organisation during his time in Chicago."
