June 13, 20196 yr I want to say yes he's merely a placeholder....but you all know as well as I do they'll hang on to him until that rudder is going down into the water.
September 21, 20196 yr Padres just fired their manager. Here is their official statement: "I want to thank Andy for his tireless work and dedication to the Padres over the last four seasons," Preller said in the statement. "This was an incredibly difficult decision, but one we felt was necessary at this time to take our organization to the next level and expedite the process of bringing a championship to San Diego. Our search for a new manager will begin immediately." I wonder if the Sox will eventually do the same.

Sad to see another team’s front office clown the Sox twice and then make a move that the Sox should be making. Edited September 21, 20196 yr by Moan4Yoan
September 21, 20196 yr I would be shocked if they got rid of Ricky this off season. They absolutely should but I don't see it

September 22, 20196 yr Frank and Ozzie were complaining about all the lineup changes in the previous post game show. I don't remember the exact numbers but I saw a stat showing the Sox only had the same line up a few times all season. Edited September 22, 20196 yr by JuliusO1274

Not defending his lineup choices in how he structured the lineups, but it was damn near impossible for him to keep the same lineup all season due to injuries and players being moved in and out

September 24, 20196 yr In todays Sun Times Renteria said the organization has to go outside and acquire some players for next season. He said that this will be a very important off season for the White Sox. It will be interesting how this plays out. I don't think they're going to spend a lot of money to sign free agents but we shall see.
September 25, 20196 yr The stronger the drum-beat regarding any type of cultural level type changes, the more the native New Yorker owner doubles-down. Renteria ain't going no-where.
