June 19, 20169 yr He should get a pass for last night. That loss clearly is on the front office and the 5th starter they acquired. No manager was going to pull that one out of the loss pile.

If any of the 29 other teams want to tap into the brilliant baseball mind of Robin Ventura, they're going to have that chance.

But I would be more surprised if he doesn't just retire as a footnote in Sox managerial history.
