The Chicago White Sox announced on Monday morning they “have agreed to part ways” with manager Rick Renteria.
Renteria led the club to a 35-25 record and its first playoff berth since 2008. They tied for second place in the AL Central during the COVID-19 shortened season and lost their wild-card series, 2-1, to the Oakland Athletics.
Renteria, 58, was hired on Oct. 3, 2016, to replace Robin Ventura. He was 236-309 leading the White Sox and was previously a bench coach with the club. The move has an unfortunate ring of familiarity for Renteria.
