White Sox Managers

White Sox general manager Rick Hahn announced today that the club and manager Rick Renteria had "agreed to part ways." Renteria's hiring in 2017 to guide a very young Sox team through its growing pains to eventual contender status was eerily similar to the task assigned to him by the Cubs in 2014. (That project went awry, at least for Renteria, when Joe Maddon unexpectedly became available in 2015.) 

     The White Sox did indeed become contenders in 2020, and it would seem that they are poised for bigger and better things in the next few years. Will the South Siders' next skipper be one of the usual suspects such as A.J. Hinch, Alex Cora, or Sandy Alomar Jr.--or does Hahn have his eye on a dark-horse candidate? To the disappointment of some, Hahn has already indicated that the choice will not be a blast from the past in the form of the one and only Ozzie Guillen.

     Stay tuned.
