Much to the dismay of many fans, manager Robin Ventura will return to the helm for the 2016 Chicago White Sox. Not all of his staff will be returning however, as bench coach Mark Parent was relieved of his duties prior to Friday’s game and assistant hitting coach Harold Baines reportedly asked to transition to a club ambassador role following the season. It strikes me as odd that Parent was dismissed with only three games remaining, but perhaps he was a scapegoat because I see no way that getting rid of a coach with as many games as franchise World Series titles left in the season.
What does manager Robin Ventura’s return mean?
