The Chicago White Sox have named Rick Renteria their new manager. Robin Ventura announced that he would not be returning to the club in 2017 on Sunday.

The White Sox have not been the playoffs in eight years. Five of those seasons have been under the management of Ventura. Renteria was the manager of the team across the street, the Chicago Cubs, up until 2014 when the Cubs hired a man named Joe Maddon.
