All that means is that the Chairman likes Ventura. His Boss(es), Kenny and/or Hahn may not.

Present the evident of him being a good manager.

Fuck.

I don't think Ventura is coming back. Sometime next week he will announce that he is walking away from managing, and will take another job in the organization. Addition by subtraction.

Then, Keyser will cry.

"Robin Ventura’s five-year tenure as manager of the White Sox appears to be coming to an amicable finish, and the club will replace him with bench coach Rick Renteria, the Chicago Sun-Times has learned.

Indications are the Sox are preparing to name Renteria, 54, as their new manager on Monday. The Sox on Saturday announced an end-of-the-season press conference with general manager Rick Hahn for 11 a.m. Monday at U.S. Cellular Field, increasing growing speculation a change would be made soon.
PROMOTED STORIES FROM SportsChatter


Hahn’s customary practice has been to address media on the last day of the season.

Ventura’s contract expires at the end of the season, which is Sunday when the Sox will conclude their fourth consecutive losing campaign under his watch. A surprise hire before the 2012 season as a bridge from the stormy and successful Ozzie Guillen era, the former Sox All-Star third baseman guided the club to an 85-77 record in his first season, good for second place in the AL Central, and finished third in AL Manager of the Year voting."

This should make JORR very happy given Renteria's mistreatment by the Cubs.

Yes, I'm glad this downtrodden millionaire was able to land on his feet, even if it was probably on a Southside pothole.

Renteria's revenge will be guiding the Sox to a World Series title before the Cubs win one.

Managers do not matter. He was treated badly by the Cubs. Joe Maddon never should have been hired they just should have gave it to Ricky.

Was it jorr that was saying the Cubs gave this dude a raw deal when they canned him?
I literally cannot wait for jorr to hate Renteria and want him fired.
Should be June or so.

I don't think his issue was whether Renteria were bad or good, just that he got the shaft from the Cub.

JORR is NEVER wrong. Baseball savvy. Managers do not matter. Unless they wear a sport coat on a plane. With shower shoes.

Kenny might be on the outs too.

Please baby Jesus, let this be correct.

The #WhiteSox have one more meeting scheduled tonight with manager Robin Ventura, and unless Ventura changes his mind, he intends to resign.

They couldn't fire Tom Thibodeau fast enough but four straight losing seasons and they have to get his permission to fire him.

Looks like I was right that Robin was on thin ice. This was what was negotiated on that Monday when he was almost fired. You guys all doubted me too.
