Do you see the Diamondbacks or Marlins trophies in their introductory videos? Serious question. It turns out that's Venable's house, Bochy got replica trophies made for the coaches after they won last year.

November 5, 20241 yr Schumaker ain’t no dummy. He probably never even considered this career killer gig.

November 8, 20241 yr Seems like Sizemore, Thames, and Katz are sticking around. I didn't hear anything about anyone else.

Serving as the front-facing figurehead of a functional organization is a much more typical ask for this job. The White Sox have many miles to go to convince the public that they are such an organization, but Venable’s hire is supposed to be just a signal, rather than the solution.” Seems like a shot at Grifol/Haber, haha.
