Report: White Sox to replace Robin Ventura with Rick Renteria as manager

Share

It appears the White Sox will have a new manager in 2017 after all.

According to Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times, the White Sox are expected to promote bench coach Rick Renteria to replace Robin Ventura as manager.

Last week, a report by USA Today's Bob Nightengale said that the White Sox would retain Ventura if he wanted to return, but CSNChicago.com Insider Dan Hayes reported that the White Sox had yet to determine his status for 2017.

Ventura declined to discuss his future with the White Sox amid speculation about a return.

Renteria was signed to be the White Sox bench coach for the 2016 season. His only season as manager came with a rebuilding Cubs team in 2014, going 73-89, where Joe Maddon served as his successor.

General manager Rick Hahn is scheduled to speak with the media on Monday at 11 a.m.
